      In depth

      Verdict

      Khajaaly never got into it at Lingfield last time but had won his previous two starts over 7f here. He stays this longer trip and should figure. Petomic won an apprentices race over a furlong further at this track last week and escapes a penalty as a result, but a chance is taken on the fitness of NORTHERN FLYER. He's won three times on the turf so far, but is dropped in class for this debut on Polytrack, and John Quinn's charge may be up to taking this on his first start since October. The remainder are hard to fancy.
