        In depth

        Verdict

        Tudor missed out on a hat-trick on his return from a break when finishing behind Forge Valley Lad. Theonlywayiswessex bids for a hat-trick raised 3lb and faces tougher opposition in this while Crescent Lake drops down in trip having scored over 1m6f at Chelmsford. WHIMSY (NAP) has an outing at Wolverhampton under her belt and having found only one too good in Class 2 company at Newmarket last autumn, she gets the vote on that form.
