        In depth

        Verdict

        A winner over 5f at Brighton, Gentlemen steps up in trip along with Balliol, third at Doncaster on his handicap debut back in July. JUSTICE FIRST (NAP) makes more appeal on his recent close-up second over today's distance at Lingfield and Ed Dunlop's charge can go one better in this. Nouveau Foret was also narrowly beaten on his latest start here but that was over a mile and Venus Grace was placed over the same distance at the track on her latest outing. Luna Mission showed a bit more at Redcar on his first start since June and is worth a second glance.
