      In depth

      Verdict

      Charlie D won over 1m4f at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago but is penalised for that and Harawi has less than a length to find with the former on more favourable terms. Deep Sea was third on the Turf at Lingfield last month but the first two home have both been beaten subsequently and VOLCANIC SKY is preferred. The Godolphin colt failed to prevent Al Kherb from landing a double but was five lengths clear of the rest at Ripon last time and Saeed bin Suroor’s charge can go one better today.
