      In depth

      Verdict

      Voice Control was only beaten a length behind Mister Bob here last month and connections will fancy their chances of turning the tables on 2lb better terms. Le Rock won over this trip at Lingfield last time and is only 2lb higher while Saborido has won three times over course and distance and usually takes on stronger opposition. ARGANTE has an absence to overcome and will be back over hurdles sooner rather than later but Nicky Henderson has a good strike rate with his runners on the Flat and the booking of Jamie Spencer suggests a big run is anticipated.
