      In depth

      Verdict

      Zalzilah had his limitations exposed when stepped up to this grade at Thirsk having landed a couple of low grade handicaps before that. Lilo Lil has also won twice in lesser company and was well beaten at this track previous to those victories but Weisse Socken won her maiden over course and distance last month and makes more appeal than Dodger Marley. Blithe Spirit was beaten a couple of lengths in a tougher race here on her penultimate start and may finish closer but BUSHCRAFT looks up to landing a hat-trick having won with plenty in hand at Sandown last time and gets the vote.
