        In depth

        Verdict

        Master Bond was more like his old self at Nottingham last month but is a 5f specialist. Searanger has only raced over this trip once before but was third here on his latest outing. More Beau was only beaten half-a-length over course and distance in June though may need some help from the handicapper before getting his head back in front. LAILA HONIWILLOW has been cleverly placed to win three of her last four on Turf. She has shot up the weights and didn't handle Polytrack last year but this is a much more giving surface and Jedd O'Keeffe's filly is worth sticking with. Aprovado ran a lot better at Ayr earlier this month but reverted to type again at Carlisle.
