        In depth

        Verdict

        The quartet to concentrate on here appear to be Ermine Grey, Jomus, Border Edge and Kinsman with the vote given to Ermine Grey. The selection looked in need of the run last time when he ran a blinder to chase home Jarvo at Wolverhampton. He was returning from a break that day so there should be more in the tank here and he is a confident choice. Jomus ran well when second behind Milton's Dream here on Wednesday, but the simple fact is he flatters to deceive and he finishes second more often than he should. Border Edge and Kinsman both finished behind Jomus the last time they were seen out and they look to have a little to find if they are to turn the tables. This looks a good opportunity for Ermine Grey who is taken to land the prize.
