        Verdict

        INSOLENCEOFOFFICE is the one to beat here. He's rattled off a sequence of four wins on Polytrack, split only by a below par effort on the Fibresand, and Dandy Nicholls' colt can continue his winning ways on today's favourable terms. Slatey Hen won a claimer at Wolverhampton last time and chased the selection home when second at Kempton before that. She looks likely to occupy the same position here unless Striking Eyes can show a big improvement on her modest debut effort. A recent runner-up here, Ajaafa may prove best of the rest.
