      In depth

      Verdict

      Robert Cowell saddles four of this six-strong field. Frankie partners Arecibo, who looked a bit unlucky in a Group 3 here three weeks ago having won earlier over course and distance, and he’s preferred to last week’s winner Benefit Street, who is 2lb out of the handicap upped in grade, Blue De Vega and Ishvara. Lethal Lunch is possibly best on Polytrack but was second in a small race at Yarmouth last month. ADDITIONAL has never run over the minimum before but he is not short of pace and led until inside the final furlong over 6f here on his return to action. He might be the value with soft ground a plus.
