      In depth

      Verdict

      Orange Nassau has his first start for Charlie Longsdon having already had 14 runs over fences in France. He might struggle to keep tabs on FIRST FANDANGO, who tackled decent opposition in his first two starts over the larger obstacles before easily justifying short odds at Fakenham. Tim Vaughan's six-year-old should be too good for these. Camden won over 2m4f at Plumpton but then fell at the last when well beaten in a handicap at Fakenham and has a bit to prove now. John's Gem won over hurdles at Plumpton last month but may need today's experience and Isthereadifference has shown little so far under Rules, though has won a point-to-point.
