        In depth

        Verdict

        Both Roy's Legacy and Swiss Cross can pop-up at this level when the mood takes them and Zipedeedodah slides further down the weights bidding to end a long losing run. But ATYAAF has the more scope having posted his best effort so far over track and trip on last month’s handicap debut and he gets the speculative vote. Wye Bother drops back down in trip on the back of improved efforts over 6f and stablemate Spring Holly could also go well while Pentland Lad has been gelded and wears a tongue-tie for the first time having switched yards since last seen in action.
