        In depth

        Verdict

        Zambezi Magic is upped in distance and raised 8lb after landing a double over 1m2f here. The less exposed COMMANDER HECTOR is preferred given he forced a dead-heat for first at Ayr on his handicap debut and there should be more to come from Chris Wall’s charge over this longer trip. Lexington Knight was successful on the all-weather recently while better is expected from Vissani today having won over today’s distance when trained in France.
