        In depth

        Verdict

        Several have decent claims including Newcastle winner Select, who bids for a hat-trick raised only 2lb. Scarborough Castle has won three of his last four outings and is 3lb higher than when scoring at Southwell while Al Gaiya went close at the same track last time. But COUNTY WICKLOW (NAP) placed at Kempton last time having tumbled down the weights and gets the vote to finally open his account fitted with a tongue-tie for the first time.
