        In depth

        Verdict

        In a race for market watchers, Man from Delcarrow is offered as a tentative selection. Oliver Sherwood's charge finished sixth in a fair Doncaster bumper with subsequent winners such as Petanque and Broken Knights only a few lengths ahead. The fact that Tony McCoy was booked so early in the week implies that confidence must be high today. Paul Nicholls is double handed and the market is perused. Eljay's Boy was well fancied before a Wincanton bumper but showed nothing on the track. Ruby Walsh will have had the choice of mounts so it is assumed that he is the much more likely winner of the two. Whose Line Is It has had two forays in weaker affairs and will have more to do here. Chester Park is given a cursory glance in the market.
