      In depth

      Verdict

      Harome beat Jack Flash by only a nose at Ripon and both can figure again. But MERRY BANTER went close at Catterick before struggling in Listed company last time and she may prove good enough back at this level with Connor Murtagh’s allowance helping her cause. Foxcatcher and Rock Of America have yet to threaten in handicaps while Stoneyford Lane remains out of form.
