        In depth

        Verdict

        Bond City can reverse last season's form with Regina now that he has the benefit of a seasonal run behind him. Especially as he is effectively 3lb better off at the weights today. Bold Marc and the in-form Namir are others that come into the reckoning and hold fair each-way claims on the best of their efforts. Namir is really on a roll after winning two of his three previous outings. He holds course and distance experience and should not be to far away if he runs up to form. Similar comments apply to Bold Marc, who had the selection a head behind him at Chester on similar terms last week. However, it is worth bearing in mind that Bond City stumbled at a crucial stage on that occasion and he did very well to finish as close as he did. This fairer surface will help Brian Smart's charge and he is fancied to come good again today.
