In depth

Verdict

Tareekh has thrived on faster going than he's likely to find here, battling on to score narrowly at Thirsk and having a bit in hand in a much better-than-average seller at York. Edinson Kevani, who was beaten just over two lengths in the latter race, is 9lb better off so should turn the tables. Pink Storm led until 1f out when tackling 7f on heavy ground at Haydock while ETERNAL GLORY also made most over this trip at Carlisle and stayed on well when headed so gets the nod. Zwift was beaten a long way at Ripon but Bonita B ran her best race to date when tackling this trip for the first time at Brighton.
