        In depth

        Verdict

        Both Copperwood and Spin Again appeared to have no excuses behind Ivory Silk at Lingfield last time and Mount Hollow is beginning to look overrated. Downhill Skier can do better back here after a modest effort on the Fibresand, but WOOLFALL SOVEREIGN makes more appeal. A winner over C&D in January, he finished fifth in much better company at Kempton last month, and this drop in class can see George Margarson's charge return to winning ways. Khajaaly and Could It Be Magic could prove best of the remainder.
