        In depth

        Verdict

        Capezzano beat Thunder Snow in this last year and there's nothing of that quality in what looks a very soft Group 1. MILITARY LAW was the shock winner of a Listed contest over the track and trip in December beating Saltarin Dubai 3 lengths. He proved that was no fluke when runner-up to the high-class Benbatl last month and that would be good enough for this. Matterhorn, a smart performer for Mark Johnston, made a fair debut for his new yard here last month, his first start on Dirt. He holds Quip on that run though the latter won the Grade 2 Oaklawn Handicap last April and will have come on a bundle.
