        In depth

        Verdict

        Musical Bridge is back on the same mark as when winning here in June and will have benefited for his recent comeback run at Nottingham but INGLEBY STAR is preferred. He won with a bit to spare at Newcastle before taking on better rivals at Ripon last time and scored off a 6lb higher mark here last May. Spirit Of Coniston has a bit to find with the selection on Newcastle running, while Straboe is much better on the all-weather which explains why he can race off a 7lb lower mark after winning at Wolverhampton last time.
