        In depth

        Verdict

        a short-priced favourite in this after two seconds over shorter at Wolverhampton. Trainer and jockey both boast excellent strike-rates on this track and the Nathaniel colt is rated 3lb higher than the even more-exposed filly Heather Lark, placed in six of her seven career starts but tried in a tongue tie and cheekpieces today. River Glades disappointed on Polytrack after a third on Tapeta at Wolverhampton and would need to bounce back.
