        In depth

        Verdict

        This looks to lie between Treasure Cay and Magic Glade who finished second and third behind Dancing Mystery over course and distance earlier this month and preference is for the latter, with Zarzu rated the best of the remainder. The selection is 2lbs better in with Treasure Cay for three-quarters of a length and with a high draw to help, plus the booking of Chris Catlin there are solid claims for believing that the six-year-old can reverse previous form. Top weight Hidden Dragon has claims on his best but comes here without a recent run, which is of concern, and of greater interest may be Absent Friends, who is set to go up 5lbs after Saturday following an improved display in a claimer at Wolverhampton last week. Zarzu has been given a break since his most recent start and is another to consider but Magic Glade has plenty in his favour and he gets the vote.
