        In depth

        Verdict

        Pocket Dynamo is a decent sprinter at his best but may have to wait for another day from his outside berth, a remark that also applies to Mutaraffa, three times a winner on fast ground at Lingfield. Riflescope invariably runs well here though it's a long time since he ran over a trip this short but Caspian Prince, who has track form, has dropped to his lowest mark since landing the Epsom Dash in 2014. Raafid was in cracking form at the end of last season and a recent run at Abu Dhabi will have put him straight but stable companion Portamento is better over further. A MOMENTOFMADNESS made a bold bid to repeat his 2018 Portland Handicap victory when just failing to hold the late thrust of Oxted. He makes his track debut from what still looks a fair mark and he can gain his ninth career victory.
