In depth

Verdict

Half of this field are winners over the C&D but Bushy Dell is out of the handicap and discounted. Ethics Girl may now be in the grip of the handicapper while Jezza has been raised another 8lb following his easy victory last month and this looks tougher. LEYTE GULF loves it around here and gained his fifth victory over the C&D when seeing off Dart at the end of last month. He's only been raised 2lb and another success looks on the cards. Both Carlton Scroop and Stormy Morning are running well enough to get competitive in a tight handicap.
