        In depth

        Verdict

        The vote here goes to Napolitain ahead of One Cornetto, with Space Cowboy and Irish Legend looking best of the rest. Napolitain's second to Yankeedoodledandy at Cheltenham last time rates as very decent juvenile form and he looks the one to beat here. One Cornetto defied his 66/1 odds to beat Chef Tartare at Folkestone but there seemed to be no fluke about that win and he rates an obvious danger. Space Cowboy has been knocking at the door in similar contests and should be doing so again, while Irish Legend's form is of a similar level and he too has to be respected at this level. Grey Mistral is among those to look out for in the betting, with Celestial Heights and Charlie's Double looking best of the rest. Overall, though, the vote goes to Napolitain.
