        In depth

        Verdict

        Spanish Conquest looks a progressive type and he can win again here at the main expense of Arabian Sun and Sadler's Leap. Seb Sanders is playing catch-up in the jockeys championship so every winner is precious, and he should be able to add to his tally in this contest. Sir Mark Prescott's runner fits the profile for the stable perfectly as he is thriving now that he has been stepped-up in trip, and having beaten Zalkani last time he looks to have plenty of scope for further improvement over this even longer trip. Arabian Sun is proven over the trip and he has run well here in the past. He posted his best effort yet last time but his overall profile leaves him with a bit to find and we will take him on. Sadler's Leap does possess ability but she has a few questions to answer at present and this extra distance may not suit as she did not seem to get home over 1m6f last time out. Moonshine Beach ran well for a long way at Pontefract last time and he has place claims. But Spanish Conquest looks a stand-out bet and he gets the vote.
