        In depth

        Verdict

        Michele Strogoff is usually thereabouts at this level but has done most of his winning at Wolverhampton but Time Change has been competing in Listed company since winning a handicap at Bath in August, though is still 10lb higher. EL GHAZWANI (NAP) landed a course and distance double earlier in the year and can race off a 4lb lower mark than when last successful. Hugo Palmer’s charge hinted at a return to form at Kempton last month and may prove the one to side with in this. Sky Defender hasn’t raced since May while Universal Gleam has a bit to prove over this far so Mr Scaramanga is preferred off his current mark.
