      In depth

      Verdict

      Thechildren'strust is unpredictable and ran a shocker when favourite at Southwell last time. But he’s still preferred to stablemate Chikoko Trail if posting one of his better efforts while Ambient gets a change of headgear still looking for his first win after 19 starts. Graceful James is best over 1m2f and finished runner-up over that distance here recently while High Acclaim also drops back down in trip. THE WARRIOR won over course and distance in September and can race off a lower mark with an apprentice’s allowance taken into account. He arrives in better form than stable companion Shyron and gets a speculative vote in a tricky opener.
