      Verdict

      ALJADY has been elevated to a mark of 107 after landing a Class 2 Sandown handicap by over 6 lengths. He'll take some beating in that kind of form but Ornate will have his supporters as the race conditions greatly favour him. He's won over this stiff track in the past and meets his old rival Caspian Prince on 9lb better terms for a narrow defeat in a similar race here in 2016 though the latter arrives in fine form having won a Class 2 handicap at Yarmouth. The remainder have a tough task on these terms.
