    In depth

    Verdict

    Is It Me is preferred to Bariloche and Broadway Calling. Connections reportedly turned down a six figure offer for Paul Blockley's three-year-old and while he isn't the greatest of jumpers, he has solid flat speed and should be the one that they realistically all have to beat. Broadway Calling was rated 60 on the level and does have a chance on breeding of staying today's trip. Ex-John Gosden cast off Bariloche won a handicap at Southwell over 1m4f and is also making a National Hunt debut. The Preacher lost his race on the way to the start at Market Rasen as he became very stirred up in proceedings. Arisea was a failed sprinter on the level and is swiftly tried at the winter game. Is It Me looks impossible to oppose despite a welter-burden.
