        In depth

        Verdict

        As a few of these have some questions to answer at this stage it may pay to concentrate on Zilarator, Bongo Fury and Peppercorn. The last named makes the most appeal if his French form is factored in and he can make amends for a below par run at Kempton when he was last seen over on these shores at Christmas. Bongo Fury receives 5lb from her male counterparts and has to be respected with Tony McCoy in the saddle. But Zilarator is still unexposed over hurdles and the cut in the ground will enable him to utilize his speed from the Flat to be the biggest danger.
