      In depth

      Verdict

      None of this bunch inspire confidence but BERLUSCA should be sharper for a recent outing here and was beaten only a length off a higher mark at Haydock back in August. Lunar Deity won over 1m2f at Yarmouth in the same month but has to race off an 8lb higher mark back on the all-weather while Barnaby Brook has struggled in a couple of subsequent outings since scoring over a mile here in September. Planetaria went close over the latter trip at the track during the summer and may prove best of the remainder.
