      In depth

      Verdict

      Marco Botti has booked Tom Marquand for Fares Poet, who is 0-14 but not badly treated at present and unexposed on Turf. Leicester third Double Martini should run his race again but Florenza usually needs a run, though won over course and distance in April last year off a 10lb higher mark. SERENADING hasn’t got many miles on the clock and is likely to take a step forward from her fourth at Yarmouth, where she was given plenty to do. James Fanshawe’s filly gets a tentative vote as Athmad continues to give the impression that 7f is too short.
