        In depth

        Verdict

        Those drawn high had an advantage at the last meeting and it could pay to be with the high numbers here. The progressive Follow Flanders, a half-sister to speed merchant Kyllachy, looks the one to be with. She has no easy task giving weight away all round, but she is almost certainly better than she has shown so far and can take this en route to better things. The in form Ridicule is argueably well treated under a penalty and will ensure the selection does not have things all her own way, while Majhool, Dubaian Gift, who has been in good form on the All-Weather and the frustrating Colonel Cotton, all have place claims.
