      In depth

      Verdict

      The veteran Mister Music missed out by only a nose over track and trip last time while The Eagle's Nest was beaten only a head last week attempting to land a hat-trick of course wins and can race off the same mark. CHARLIE ARTHUR (NAP) has also been in good form here and completed a course and distance double a fortnight ago. That second outing was his first since November and he may well defy a 3lb rise with Richard Hughes’ yard in red-hot form. Zodiakos has plenty to find with the selection and the remaining pair are also hard to recommend.
