        In depth

        Verdict

        APROVADO won over track and trip in September and was placed over 6f here last month when ahead of Tarboosh. He looks capable of going in again off his current mark. Dark Side Dream also has a shout dropping back to the minimum trip while Royal Brave won over track and trip in November but has his first start since. Vimy Ridge was ahead of Secret Asset when placed over 5f at Lingfield earlier while Just Us Two is finally back on a winning mark having failed to score last year.
