        In depth

        Verdict

        From a shortlist of Habanero, Arry Dash, Balearic Star, Omaha City and Parnassian, we will side with Habanero. Habanero bounced back to form over course and distance seven days ago and, clearly in good heart, might be up to defying a penalty. Arry Dash remains competitive from his current mark and ran fairly well last time. Balearic Star is closely weighted with him on May Nottingham form. Course and distance winner Omaha City gained that success last June and should be sharper for his recent run. Parnassian is back to the mark from which he won over a mile last season, although he has looked recently as though he will stay further. Of the others, Devine Command gets the most-likely tab but, for the winner we will side with Habanero.
