        In depth

        Verdict

        Zezenia’s dam won a Group 3 on soft going so she should handle conditions, though her Newmarket third hasn’t been franked. Sermon became disappointing last year and showed no improvement on his reappearance here in a handicap while Arctic Vega looked ready for a step up in trip here last month and will again carry a penalty. Redcar runner-up Willing To Please will need more but Kingsholm could be one to note for future reference. BINT AUSTRALIA is a half-sister to five winners, including Derby runner-up At First Sight, and William Haggas’ newcomer can make a winning debut.
