        In depth

        Verdict

        Migration, Fort Churchill and Summer Charm are the three for the shortlist here and preference is for Migration. Summer Charm was dropped in grade to score on his seasonal re-appearance on the turf last time, and the booking of Jamie Spencer is eye-catching. He looks sure to go well. Fort Churchill showed his best form for some time when second at Newcastle last time, where he would have finished closer with a clearer run, and a reproduction of that improved effort will see him thereabouts. By Rainbow Quest out of a Northern Dancer mare, Migration appreciated the return to the Flat when pulling off a 40-1 surprise in an apprentice contest at Southwell. He will have gained confidence from that and can follow up.
