      In depth

      Verdict

      Yes Daddy won here in the spring and was only beaten a length at Worcester last month. Jarlath faced a stiff task at the weights in a conditionals' race last time having beaten a subsequent winner at Worcester earlier and is still unexposed but he's giving 4lb to MAC BERTIE, who hasn't run a bad race since scoring at Ffos Las in June and remains well treated. Vodka 'n Tonic won at Exeter in April but was well beaten off this mark here the following month and hasn't raced since.
