        In depth

        Verdict

        Gemi Bed might provide the answer here, with Fleeting Moon, Phantom Stock, Joely Green, Turtle Lover and King Flyer others to consider. The selection appreciated the return to two miles over course and distance last time when comfortably beating Phantom Stock by two lengths. Much as he's four-pounds worse off at the weights, he might well confirm the form, although Phantom Stock remains competitively weighted and his young rider has caught the eye of late. Fleeting Moon finally got her head in front last time but that was at Southwell and she did not look to be blessed with too many gear changes on that occasion. We'll find out more about her today. King Flyer is well-weighted on Turf form and has proven that he acts here, although he lacks a recent outing. Joely Green, a dual course winner at up to 10 furlongs, is weighted to get revenge on Turtle Valley based on their recent runs here over 13 furlongs with Mysterlover held on the basis of that form. Overall, though, given that he hails from an in-form yard, Gemi Bed gets our vote.
