        In depth

        Verdict

        Picks Pinta ended a long losing run with a recent victory at Newcastle and is 5lb higher today. Foxy Boy won a Class 7 event over the minimum trip here last month and Storm Lightning went close dropped into this lowly grade at Kempton last time. But SOLDIER BLUE should be sharper for a recent comeback run at Newcastle when fourth behind a subsequent dual winner and Brian Ellison’s charge is taken to finally open his account off his current mark.
