      In depth

      Verdict

      Jonny Levins has two runners here plus the two reserves. TOUCH OF FROST looks best of the quartet and if he can repeat his third place in a premier handicap at Naas last month he should be up to taking this. Aldo Raine is joint top-rated with him but hasn't been going well recently over a variety of distances but Mo Henry has found his form since reverting to Turf from Polytrack and Gary Halpin's claim is a bonus. Almadaa has won nine times but has failed to take advantage of a falling handicap mark the last twice and has plenty of weight.
