      In depth

      Verdict

      It will take a massive effort to beat ASPEN COLORADO, who comfortably saw off subsequent easy winner Without Limites over the course and distance last month and has an entry in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham. Clonkeen Lad was beaten 26 lengths and is hardly likely to reverse the form but Gordon Elliott's newcomer Brelade is interesting as he cost 85,000 euros and is a half-brother to a couple of winners. The Sneaky Punter ran quite well at Down Royal and can do better while the market should give an indication to the abilities of the remaining newcomers.
