        In depth

        Verdict

        In a race in which there is no recent winning form to go on, the pin comes down on Barzak over Pro Tempore, Ace Club and Nilsatisoptimum. Barzak was rated over a stone higher in the weights last year, but has slipped down to a much better mark after some moderate efforts. On current form he cannot be considered a 'mortgage job' but in the hope that he can produce a semblance of his old ability, he is selected in what is a poor affair to round things off. Pro Tempore falls into a similar category but his current form is definitely forgettable, while course-and-distance winner Ace Club seems to have lost his form completely of late. Nilsatisoptimum has a bit more scope as one of the three-year-olds in the line-up but do not bank on him today, and so we shall rely on Barzak.
