        In depth

        Verdict

        Prime Defender can beat newcomer Another True Story, Transpique and Cheap Street in the opener. Prime Defender shaped with a great deal of promise when runner-up on his debut at Newbury at the start of the month, and with minimal improvement he should be well capable of going one better. The way the son of Bertolini stayed on that day suggests that really he could do with a step up in trip, not a move down, but the dam won over five furlongs, so there should not be a worry. Richard Hannon gets plenty of winners at Sandown, and Another True Story is sure to be well tuned up, while Cheap Street has improved race-by-race, but does not look as classy as Gimcrack entry Prime Defender who can take this before tackling stronger company.
