          In depth

          Verdict

          Sure to be plenty of pace on for the opener and a further chance is taken with Abientot, who arrives here very much on an upward curve. The Brain Meehan-trained gelding is selected in preference to Canadian Danehill, who is respected but is also very hard to win with. Chinalea and Coconut Squeak also come into the equation on the pick of their efforts and are worth monitoring for signs of each-way support. Coconut Squeak shaped up well in a couple of outings on the All Weather before he failed to get home over seven furlongs at Yarmouth last time out. He should be suited by this drop in trip and he cannot confidently be ruled out in this company. Chinalea was no match for the selection when they met at Windsor earlier this month. However, he is much better off at the weights this time around and can go close if more patient tactics are employed this afternoon. Overjoy Way is also worth mentioning, as she is open to improvement and looks ready for a try at this trip. Nevertheless, Abientot appears to be going from strength to strength at present and is too hard to oppose while he is such great heart.
