        In depth

        Verdict

        Dolphin Rock ended last year with a hat-trick but is 5lb higher on his comeback. PICK YOUR BATTLE won at Dundalk in January and went close again at Wolverhampton earlier this month - he can make the trip across the Irish Sea worthwhile by landing this. Gone With The Wind is 3lb higher than September’s win at Carlisle but could still go well while Kopassus should be winning at this level before long judged on last year’s placed efforts.
