        In depth

        Verdict

        Successful over track and trip two years ago off a 7lb higher mark, Harlequin Striker boasts solid form at this level but would probably have preferred some ease in the ground. The three-year-old AL OZZDI likes quick conditions, however, and looked to be coming to hand at Yarmouth last month. Dropped a pound since, he looks the one to beat. Chetan led for a long way last time at Newbury and should be thereabouts again while Arendelle remains largely unexposed and it would be no surprise to see her improve again here. Tai Sing Yeh looks the pick of the remainder.
