In depth

Verdict

THREE C’S had been in fine form at Southwell before returning to action with a convincing victory over course and distance. He looks worth sticking with in his current form despite the 5lb penalty. Andaleep never threatened the winner when runner-up at Kempton a fortnight ago but could figure again while Caribbean Spring won here before finding one too good in an amateurs’ race last time. The unexposed Furqaan looks a bigger threat off his current mark but Azets has plenty to find with the selection.
