In depth

Verdict

Richard Hannon has strength in depth in the juvenile department this term and High Accolade may soon be adding to the tally following a pleasing introduction over course and distance earlier in the month. Impersonator is related to middle-distance winner In Disguise and shaped as though he'd appreciate the extra furlong when a strong finishing third over 6f on his debut here last month. With the Barry Hills yard back in top form, the well-connected Risk Taker (from the same family as Oaks heroine Reams Of Verse) should be noted in the market.
