In depth

Verdict

Hermocrates won at Brighton last week, despite hanging under pressure in the closing stages. That’s earned him a penalty but he still goes on the short-list. Elegant Love is only a plater, however, while the ground is an unknown for both The Dancing Poet and Isle of Wolves. MUKHA MAGIC was only headed close home on soft going at Nottingham in June and then won over this course and distance on a quicker surface. He’s not been disgraced off higher marks here since and could be the one to beat on the ground. Seeusoon and the maiden Slade King are also interesting with the latter now fitted with a visor.
