        In depth

        Verdict

        Showstoppa fluffed her lines last time at Ripon but wouldn't be the first Mark Johnston runner to bounce back from a poor showing. Desert Command went very close over 6f here last month after winning at Salisbury and is in better form that stablemate Duke Of Firenze. Boom The Groom and Monumental Man could both figure if back on song but this may be too tough nowadays for Captain Dunne and Elusivity. HUMIDOR reared as the stalls opened last time at Goodwood and dumped James Doyle on the Turf. But he was first past the post in this last year and is suited by a sharp 5f so can get back on track.
