        In depth

        Verdict

        SONG OF NORWAY arrives in the best form of these having scored at Catterick last week. He should go close again with his likely market rivals all struggling at present. Jebel Tara was placed over track and trip last month and finished ahead of Mowhoob back here last time while most of the remainder have slipped down the weights but have yet show any benefit. That list includes Opt Out, Vixen Hill, Gaelic Wizard and Golden Wedding with the latter the least exposed and making most appeal on that basis.
