        In depth

        Verdict

        A race lacking any real strength in depth and one in which the betting market should be watched with a lot of interest. However, without that knowledge, we'll side with Reflex Blue ahead of Exit To Heaven, Aqua Pura and Box Builder. The selection comes here in good heart following a two-mile win at Wolverhampton last time. In what is not a good race, he has to be high on the shortlist of possible winners. Vincent won a seller the time before last at Wolverhampton over 15 furlongs and connections will be hopeful of him bagging some money. Exit To Heaven has yet to win a race but the best of his Turf form puts brings him firmly into the reckoning, while Barney Curley's former German winner, Aqua Pura, has to be respected from the Barney Curley yard. Box Builder also hails from a canny yard and, if his trainer has him somewhere near cherry ripe after a 432-day absence from the track, he warrants plenty of respect on the best of his form.
