      In depth

      Verdict

      Delgrey Boy has been in the mix since scoring at Thirsk last month but is now 11lb higher. Frankelio’s recent placed efforts have been on soft ground but HARSWELL DUKE won over 1m1f at Musselburgh last month and ran well again dropped down to 7f at Ayr last week. He looks worth risking given the ease of his earlier victory. Lord Neidin has undergone wind surgery since last in action in a tougher race at Newmarket and is preferred to Emiyn and Oslo.
