      In depth

      Verdict

      Velvet Vista landed a hat-trick of lower grade races early in the year and is upped in class after going close again over track and trip with Six Strings behind. The less exposed Paxos is preferred with more to come from him but BLAME CULTURE makes most appeal. Placed over 6f last time, he finished runner-up in a higher grade contest over track and trip before that and George Margarson’s charge can go one better in this. Frow looks best of the rest.
