        In depth

        Verdict

        A decent race for this time of year and Hunter chaser Hours is an interseting runner. He doesn't exactly looked thrown in off a mark of 114 and he will have his work cut out to give the weight to Ashgan, who impressed when returning from a break, to win with more in hand than the official verdict suggested at Worcester. He has more to do here, but he is open to improvement. Interdit is not one to rely on,but both Royal Snoopy and Specialize are more than capable if putting their best foot forward.
