        In depth

        Verdict

        A couple of these have more scope than the rest including AZTEC EMPIRE, who won a novice event at Kempton as he liked and makes his handicap debut along with Evania. The latter struggled in Listed company last time but will be more at home in this. Capital Theory drops down in class with a chance but First Officer is 10lb higher than when last winning and Myboymax won a lower grade contest over a longer trip last time. Gumball, First Impression and Colony Queen have been jumping with the latter preferred back in this code.
