In depth
Verdict
Chianti looked to face a hopeless task last time against the impressive Desert Deer. He has not looked the easiest of rides in the past, and has no easy task giving weight away here. Hit And Run a useful hurdler, has too much to do in this company, while Rasm surely needs this after nearly two years off the course. The frustrating Man O'Mystery need splenty of cover and is unlikely to have the race run to suit.
