      In depth

      Verdict

      The drop to claiming company should suit Savile's Delight and he can avail with Grimes Faith appearing the main danger and Maktavish another contender a possible for the placings. Savile's Delight has a real love affair with the fibresand surface. He has been struggling in handicaps of late as a result of his much improved form but this should be easier for him. Grimes Faith is another consistent performer who has been reverting between five and six furlongs but might find Savile's Delight with too much pace while Maktavish has alot to find on the handicap but is favoured by the minimum trip. Savile's Delight should prove too good for this bunch and is our selection.
