      In depth

      Verdict

      VANDELLA has found one too good in each of her three runs to date but it will be disappointing if David Evans’ filly can’t take advantage of a draw near the rails in this. Tomshalfbrother is having a first run in more than 12 months but Great Suspense has placed a couple of times this year, including last time at Southwell. Maqboola led past halfway at Windsor and Oh So Nice could also figure if a switch of surface brings about improvement.
