      In depth

      Verdict

      There was little between For Ayman and Kinglami when they filled the places over course and distance last time. With that pair hard to separate, it could pay to stick with DON’T BLAME ME, who scored over track and trip last month. The runner-up has subsequently won so the form looks solid enough and Clive Cox’ charge gets the nod. The remainder are harder to fancy with Honcho disappointing at Epsom last week having finished a close-up fourth at Newmarket before that.
