In depth

Verdict

Catfish still has some improvement to find if she's to get competitive at this level, while a 3lb rise for finishing third on his last two starts doesn't aid the cause of Restless Bay. A winner over 6f at Wolverhampton, Indian Emperor faded badly in the closing stages over 7f on his return and can do better, while Frozen Over has claims after landing his maiden at Folkestone last time. SACROSANCTUS has lost his way a little since landing a double on Polytrack early this year, but showed signs of a revival at Ripon recently and a return to winning ways looks on the cards here.
