        In depth

        Verdict

        The ones to focus on here are The Nomad, Silver Knight, Another Chance and Moreluck, with the vote going to Another Chance. The selection has a length-and-a-quarter to find with Moreluck based on Musselburgh form last month but, now six-pounds better off at the weights, he holds a good chance of turning the tables on Kim Bailey's progressive eight-year-old. The Nomad is a course winner and he's been retaining his form pretty well although he has never won over this type of trip. Silver Knight beat subsequent winner The Kew Tour at Wetherby in December and has been highly tried without success since. He is talented and should go well but it will be no easy task trying to concede weight to the field so this just leans us towards Another Chance, who deserves to win race of this nature.
