        In depth

        Verdict

        Westport was good value for his win at Redcar last month and has to be respected but Kevin Ryan's colt may struggle to follow up under his penalty and preference is for Sir Michael Stoute's Tawaassol, with Ooh Aah Camara rated the best of the rest. The selection was turned over by Sands Of Barra at odds on when making his handicap debut at Yarmouth last month but that was only his third career outing and there should be more to come from Sir Michael Stoute's colt. Imperial Sword may want a softer surface, while Ryedale Ovation could probably do with more help from the handicapper. Figaro Flyer is more exposed than most of these and of more interest may be Chester winner Ooh Aah Camara, especially if the market speaks in his favour. Tawaassol remains open to further improvement and gets the vote to open his account in this grade today.
