        In depth

        Verdict

        Another competitive affair but the TEAMtalk selection is Paco Venture. The gelding from the Venetia Williams yard has been a model of consistency this season, and he was a good second behind Darapour last time out at Southwell. Darapour has since won under a penalty so the form look rocks solid. Old Feathers is from the same stable as Darapour so they should have a line through the form, and he was a good winner at Uttoxeter last time out when defeating Wontcostalotbut. However he may struggle under a penalty. Nordic Prince was a fair third last time out behind Creon at Chepstow and a reproduction of that form would see him go close. Hawkes Run was beaten before being carried out last time out and he may be in the handicappers grip. Ocean Tide was a fair fourth behind Young American at Haydock last time but this contest has a lot more strength in depth. Berkeley Frontier is also worth a cautionary look in the market off what looks a fair mark but his best form is on slightly faster ground. The remainder need to improve on there latest form to score.
