    In depth

    Verdict

    Kings Bayonet hasn't run over hurdles for some time but has been performing reasonably in good company on the Flat. Bigindie was making his handicap debut when scoring very easily at Southwell but is 9lb higher now and upped in grade. Richard Johnson steered Zarawi to an easy victory at Fontwell but a 10lb rise in the weights may prove too much as VIVACISSIMO can come out on top. Dan Skelton's charge looks well handicapped over timber and though disappointing at Southwell may have found the longer trip and soft ground against him. Prince Khurram landed a Sedgefield maiden in good style and isn't out of this.
