        In depth

        Verdict

        ONE TO GO (NAP) won at Lingfield last month on only his second outing for Archie Watson’s yard. An apprentice’s allowance negates a rise in the weights and he can go in again. Proceeding scored over track and trip a fortnight ago and finished in front of previous course winner Double Martini earlier. He should go well again and is preferred to Ballet Red, who won a seller at Wolverhampton before beaten back in a handicap, while Ascot Week ran well at the track before disappointing back here when Champagne Rules finished third.
