Verdict

SOLAR DEITY is the one to beat in this. He bids for a hat-trick after winning a higher grade handicap than this last time when Chapter And Verse finished over three lengths behind. The latter found Spirit Of Sharjah too good at Kempton on Wednesday but had beaten both Corporal Maddox and Outpost at the same track before that. Cockney Dancer remains in fine form but is upped in class after her latest C&D victory and it was only a claimer that Polar Kite won at Kempton last month.
