In depth

Verdict

Pondering won a maiden over 1m2f on the Turf at Lingfield last time. But an earlier effort over this longer trip at Leicester when fading in the closing stages raises some concerns regarding stamina and PLATO’S KODE may prove a safer bet. He’s upped in class today but scored on firm going over track and trip last time. Cubswin is the least exposed of the remaining trio and could figure dropping down a grade for this.
