        In depth

        Verdict

        Plenty of in-form sorts in a decent nursery for the time of year. Connections of Danger Alert will be disappointed to see the gelding raised 3lb for his latest effort, especially having compiled a frustrating sequence of four successive runner-up runs. He should be in the mix again but the opposition is tough, of which LOOKING FOR LYNDA is taken to land a third success of the campaign. Second in a competitive York nursery last time, he makes his all-weather debut off a workable mark. Shaquille landed a York novice when last seen to make it 2-3 for the season and also makes appeal on his all-weather debut. Michaela's Boy has impressed the last twice, most recently on Thursday evening at Chelmsford, but this looks harder. Tenjin is a likely threat on the back of two strong recent Kempton nursery runs.
