      In depth

      Verdict

      Straitouttacompton went close in novice company here recently but that was over 1m4f. He’s fitted with additional headgear back over this much shorter trip while both Noble Account and Thunderoad have placed over 1m2f and the former returns from a lay-off. Elhafei looks no closer to winning despite sliding further down the weights but FOX SHINJI (NAP) was beaten a length over course and distance on his handicap debut and return to action and looks the one to side with here with Andrew Balding’s yard in such good form.
