Verdict
Synonym got up in the final strides at Kempton nine days ago but has collected a penalty for his troubles and there is a fair chance that fifth Sannibel will reverse that form if getting away on terms today. INSOLENCEOFOFFICE also has a penalty but won a better race at the track last week by five lengths. He'll take some stopping in this with Nicola Grundy's claim taking care of the extra. Methaaly is as tough as old boots and eight of his nine all-weather wins have come here - he'll be trying his hardest again.
