      In depth

      Verdict

      Purdey's Gift disappointed at Kempton last time without any apparent excuse having won at Wolverhampton before that. Rasaasy was a surprise 20/1 winner at Southwell on his first start for new connections but it remains to be seen how he copes on this faster surface and MATEWAN was beaten less than a length over course and distance last month. That form looks solid enough with winner going in again subsequently and Ian Williams’ charge gets the vote. Skerryvore has something to prove over this far judged on an earlier attempt but Kyllachy Gala can figure only 2lb higher than an earlier success at Kempton.
