        In depth

        Verdict

        Amadeus Wolfe Tone could figure dropping back down in class but POYLE VINNIE (NAP) is preferred. The latter went close at Haydock last month when attempting to land a hat -trick and can race off a lower a mark here with an apprentice's allowance taken into account. Taquka ran well at Kempton last time when ahead of Amygdala and Desert Strike while Paul Hanagan gets the leg-up on stablemate Dinneratmidnight. Realize and Slim Chance are upped in class on the back of recent wins.
