In depth

Verdict

BREAKING THE BANK and Discay were separated by a length when the pair clashed here last month for which the Case inmate receives a 7lb penalty. A strict interpretation of that form suggests that placings should be reversed now but we'll stay with the former as he looks the more straightforward and reliable of the pair. Also, Discay came to grief on his latest run and needs to have got over that tumble. Both should handle this extra half-mile but the former may also offer the better value of the two. Vinceson has place claims on the back of his second here to Creswell Prince whilst Burgravio showed nothing in three starts for Andre Fabre in France nor on debut for John Ferguson, Nevertheless, he needs to be checked in the market representing such connections.
