      In depth

      Verdict

      Most of these have been competing against each other throughout the winter with varying results. ALMADAA had Strategic Heights and Your Pal Tal behind when fourth over the minimum earlier this month and, with the extra furlong in his favour and his lowest mark for a very long time, he can gain his seventh victory on the track. Strategic Heights has won five times around here but all over the minimum while Ishebayorgrey's last victory here came over an extra furlong. The latter has the pace for this and looks a threat and though Fast In The Wind has never won in a dozen all-weather starts he's gone close on several occasions and shouldn't be dismissed. The maiden Future Icon hasn't run since October but began last season on a mark of 78 and is down to 54 here.
