      In depth

      Verdict

      Han Solo Berger beat Saaheq at Southwell last month and the latter subsequently won over track and trip before finding Prodigious Blue too good at Newcastle. Sir Rodneyredblood completed a double in March including a victory here, but Southwell winner DARK SIDE PRINCE has scored over the minimum trip seven times now and Jessica Macey’s charge may be the one to side with in an open contest.
