    In depth

    Verdict

    Most of these have shown their best form on fast ground but a chance is taken that BENNYS QUEST handles today's going. He can effectively race off a lower mark than when scoring at Sedgefield last month with Connor Shoemark's allowance taken into consideration and gets the vote. Spock is dropped in class after winning at Worcester but has the disadvantage of a 7lb penalty while Trooper Clarence has yet to show any improvement for his tumble down the weights. Humbel Ben and Cruise In Style arrive out of form and are hard to fancy.
