In depth

Verdict

Prepared had no problems seeing off Secret Ambition last month and though worse off at the weights shouldn't have too much trouble confirming the form. However, Sheeba, who finished fourth, came from a long way back and should get closer though Pat Dobbs, who rode him, has chosen KING COLE (NAP) here. Doug Watson's charge, a winner at Chelmsford for Robert Powell, ran a fine race when runner-up in a stronger race than this last time and looks the type to go on to better things.
