      In depth

      Verdict

      Western King won at Bangor last month but couldn't handle a 6lb higher mark at Market Rasen next time. KALAMILL needed cajoling along here nine days ago but was well on top at the finish and is still unexposed over fences. With Peter Carberry's claim halving his weight rise, Shaun Lycett's charge can score again as Violets Boy is going up in the weights again and The Society Man has been finding one too good in lesser contests. Rockiteer last ran at the Galway Festival but is still 5lb higher than when last successful in a handicap.
