    In depth

    Verdict

    Tadreeb still looks fairly treated but has probably produced his best runs so far over 7f. Ready To Venture needs to rediscover her best form in first-time cheekpieces and BABY ALYA is preferred. She followed up a win at Newmarket with a second at Haydock and, though a pound higher, may be capable of better. Duty Of Care is having only a second run since December and a first on Turf so is best watched.
