      In depth

      Verdict

      A trappy opener. See The Sea won well in cheekpieces last time and should make a bold bid if the headgear works again, while Hawridge Glory has been running well in these events and should do so again. Bollin Ted is respected despite his rise in the weights, but the interesting one is GIBSON PARK , already a winner over hurdles for his in-form trainer, who looks as though he has spotted a winnable opening back on the Flat. KIng Of Dreams and Grey Diamond have questions to answer.
