        In depth

        Verdict

        Mithak, Cape Canaveral and Six Of One look the principals in this tight handicap and the tentative vote goes to Cape Canaveral. The four year old was a fair third behind Easibrook Jane last time out and a reproduction of that effort off what looks a fair mark would make him hard to beat. Mithak, rounded off last season with a good second behind Beyond Control and he should go well despite top weight but he has a 338 day absence to overcome. Six Of One is also worthy of respect he was a fair second behind Goldbrook last time and still remains on a fair mark. Ice Crystal won well over course and distance last season and if it came up heavy he could go well at a big price. Of the remainder East Hill looks handicapped up to the hilt so we are happy to side with Cape Canaveral.
