        In depth

        Verdict

        Countback is consistent which gives him claims in an open contest, however Tip Toes is a course and distance winner and is taken to get his head back in front. Paul Howling's five-year-old has slipped back down to a winning mark after a sequence of below-par efforts and as he goes well for today's pilot, he must have solid claims now back at a course where he goes best. Countback has never won over this distance so if there is a true gallop then he might just struggle in the final quarter mile. Dual-performer Rocknest Island didn't act on the surface at Southwell when last seen but he showed a degree of promise when trained in Ireland so should not be written off. Rajayoga went well at Catterick last time out and has place claims, however Tip Toes is back on a winning mark and gets the vote.
