        In depth

        Verdict

        Call My Number, Charlie Delta and Damika are on the shortlist here and the vote is given to Damika. The selection put in a really solid effort last time when finishing a good second behind Mr Sandicliffe. That was over today's course and distance and although he is not ideally drawn, he could be the value call. Call My Number has got a good draw and he has shown some decent form, but he is better over further than this and for that reason he looks worth taking on. Charlie Delta beat Mary Delaney in impressive fashion last time at Nottingham and with this fast ground very much in his favour, he may well prove to the one that gives our selection the most to think about. Mr Rooney was returning from a 10-month break when finishing behind our selection last time so he should strip fitter today, but for the winner we will return to the in-form Damika.
