        In depth

        Verdict

        Ian Semple has a good strike-rate at Wolverhampton and can pick up again with Alfonso, who edges preference over Climate and Marmooq. It would also be dangerous to rule out a bold bid from Prince Dayjur now that he has a seasonal run behind him. Any market confidence may prove significant. Marmooq drops into this grade for the first time and, as he represents a shrewd training operation; he should be monitored closely in the betting. This is a touch easier than some of the tasks he has faced of late and he can go close if he adapts to racing on an artificial surface. Climate is another downgraded but holds solid claims on the best of his form. However, he has not stood much racing of late and, as he has obviously had his problems, he is not one to trust implicitly. Therefore, we prefer to side with Alfonso, who all the ticks in the right boxes. Semple's charge is a previous course and distance winner and gets on well with today's jockey. The gelding is also in good heart at present and, as he has fewer questions to answer than most of the rest, Alfonso just gets the nod.
