        In depth

        Verdict

        Whirly Bird, Anyhow and Fantasy Crusader look the three likely protagonists and we stick with the former. Whirly Bird is better in than if this were a handicap and Amanda Perretts' representative can take advantage of lenient terms to take a second success on the all-weather. Anyhow is a likeable individual who barely runs a bad race. The course-and-distance winner is not particularly well drawn though and will have to cover extra distance to lay handy. A similar problem that faces backers of Fantasy Crusader. Mambina is offered some respect in lieu of the fair form that Mick Channon's horses are showing this term. Willhego and Tromp are watched in the market. At the weights its difficult to get away from Whirly Bird and it is to Amanda Perrett's charge that we turn.
