        In depth

        Verdict

        The three-year-olds might have the upper hand in this with Leicester scorer SCOPPIO DEL CARRO preferred to Hamilton runner-up Potent Embrace and Zugzwang, who reserves his best for the Polytrack. Of the older horses, Duke Of Yorkshire has been knocking on the door and Excellent Puck has been in good form lately. Ellaal and course winner Kyllachy Star may have stamina limitations, however, and Hydrant's connections would have wanted some rain.
