      In depth

      Verdict

      With the champion jockey reunited with Plucky Dip , the gelding has to be considered, along with the consistent Dark Side Dream . But the two with the best recent C&D form are MAAKAASIB and Hackney Road and the former is marginally preferred. Storm Cry has plenty to prove on this surface.
