In depth
Verdict
POP FAVORITE looks set to take advantage of a slide down the weights. He gave notice of a big run when beaten less than a length at Lingfield last week and Angus Villiers’ allowance could give him the edge in this. Roca Magica can do better back over today’s trip and the same comment applies to Caribbean Spring while Trepidation won off a similar mark at Kempton early in the year and Kerrera has been thereabouts recently.
