        In depth

        Verdict

        Gobi Sunset is now 8lb higher than when successful at Newcastle earlier in the month and Corvair is having his first outing since January. The progressive Arafi went close at the All-Weather Championships at Lingfield last time and has to come into the reckoning back in a handicap but MARGUB (NAP) is just preferred. The latter missed the whole of last year but ran well at Chelmsford a fortnight ago on his first start after wind surgery and Marcus Tregoning’s charge won this in 2019. The remainder all competed in the same race at Lingfield recently when Baby Steps came out best in sixth.
