      In depth

      Verdict

      Dontaskmeagain has plenty to prove over this trip having weakened quickly at Yarmouth. Oriental Art may also be better over 1m2f while Shake A Leg is having a first run for a new trainer but Eastern Sheriff is now only a pound higher than when successful at Ayr last year. DOCTOR PARNASSUS is edging up the weights without winning but he is almost guaranteed to run his race again and Carrigillihy needed the intervention of the stewards to land the odds off a 3lb lower mark at Ripon last month.
