        In depth

        Verdict

        If Karl's Berg Did is now 0-15 and was pulled up at Exeter latest while Prince Nino suffered the same fate when favourite for a lesser contest at Wincanton 11 days ago. Gingerbred was also a beaten favourite last time, at Sandown, but still looks the biggest danger to likely hot favourite IOUPY COLLONGES, who made all and won by 10 lengths on just his second start over timber at Chepstow.
