        In depth

        Verdict

        This can go the way of Blue Trojan at the expense of Flipando and Langford. The selection bids to follow up on his win over Dvinsky at Chepstow two weeks ago. Blue Trojan runs off a four pound higher mark here which we feel is not enough to stop him as he still carries a nice racing weight. Flipando has been consistent this season without getting his head in front. His last performance saw him finish fourth of seven at Nottingham but was only beaten just over a length so he is worth noting once more. As is Langford who was not disgraced in the Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot last week when finishing in the first half of the field and he will be better here dropped in grade. But for the winner we return to Blue Trojan.
