In depth

Verdict

TANQEEB was stopped in his tracks at Wolverhampton in January so that run is best ignored. He is only 2lb higher than when winning on good to firm at Bath in the autumn and gets the nod here. Nine Elms has won twice at Wolverhampton this year and Glint Of An Eye has been knocking on the door. Like Sugar tries a new trip but did win over a mile at Kempton in February and should last home while Siavash is fitted with a visor dropping back from 1m4f.
