        In depth

        Verdict

        Ice Trooper has been in fine form at Lingfield and Royal Intruder showed a bit more at Kempton when runner-up on his latest start. Bond Fastrac is another threatening a return to winning ways and Dale Swift's claim offsets a 3lb rise for his latest second at Newcastle, but the vote goes to GAP PRINCESS. She's been unable to add to last year's three victories so far this season, but a slide down the weights sees her dropped in class today and Geoff Harker's mare can take advantage. Above The Stars is another to note stepping back up to 6f off a much lower mark after several unsuccessful attempts at the minimum trip.
