    In depth

    Verdict

    Just the four runners but only 4lb between them. Soaring Spirits bids for a four-timer off a 6lb higher mark with a couple of his earlier wins coming at this venue and Vincentti scored over track and trip earlier this month. Upavon is another course and distance winner though his latest success came at Yarmouth but BILLYOAKES is a sporting selection despite being the only one not to have won his latest start as he went close at Lingfield last time having slipped 9lb down the weights this year.
