        In depth

        Verdict

        Another wide open affair in which many have chances on there best form but we will stick with Damien's Choice. The gelding from the Alan Swinbank yard has won his last two races in good style and with conditions again in his favour he will be hard to beat despite rising in the weights. Batswing rates the main danger on his latest third at Punchestown behind Incas. However he is none to consistent. Xaipete is on a handy mark and is from yard in form he is another to consider. Minster York has dropped to a fair mark and he will run well if the rain stays away. Carrick Troop is another that could go well with his stable back in top form but his best efforts of late have come over a much longer trip. Of the remainder Bit O Magic is from a shrewd yard and is worth a cautionary look in the market.
