INSOLENCEOFOFFICE had plenty in his favour when trying to land the odds at Lingfield on Saturday but finished a disappointing second on his first start for Dandy Nicholls. This looks more difficult, but his last two wins came at this track and he's worth another chance on his return. Fifth In Line brought a frustrating run of placed efforts to an end when scoring at Lingfield recently and has every chance on today's terms while Littleportnbrandy could also figure with a recent comeback run under his belt. The remainder face a tough task at the weights.
