      In depth

      Verdict

      It doesn't come much worse than this and a tentative vote goes to Lilardo, who at least has managed to win a couple of races race, albeit both of them in selling company on the All-Weather. St Palais has shown a little ability and may be capable of a bit of improvement at this level. Cancun Caribe hasn't taken long to find himself in selling company. He was a better animal than Lilardo on the sand, winning his maiden in first time blinkers, and if he retains a modicum of ability, he must go close at this level.
