      In depth

      Verdict

      Most of these are fit from the Flat and Golden Town returned to action with a fair fourth here eight days ago. Jimmy Moffatt’s veteran is well treated nowadays taking into account Charlotte Jones’ claim. El Borracho is still 9lb higher than for his last success but The Navigator goes well here and is respected. Gordon's Jet also boasts solid course form but CARAMELISED should be capable of picking up a decent handicap before the ground eases so gets the nod.
