In depth

Verdict

FIGHT FOR IT debuted over today’s trip at Leicester and showed promise in finishing fourth so the Coolmore-owned gelding gets the vote on that form. Thunder Ahead failed to show any progress at Nottingham last time and Lingfield third Wantage struggled over a longer trip here last month. Moment Of Beauty, Zoffany's Girl and Mushirif have yet to threaten but hail from powerful yards and will be sharper for last month’s outings.
