      In depth

      Verdict

      Oishin has shown little over fences so far but Rapid Flight won a handicap here last month and was just beaten off a 7lb higher mark four days later. Taxmeifyoucan is a thorough stayer but SHANTOU EXPRESS would have easily been the best of these over hurdles and can make a winning start over fences if his jumping is up to scratch. Western Run is 0-9 in chases but might be the biggest threat.
