      In depth

      Verdict

      ALNADIR has been beaten a length over today’s trip on his last couple of outings but looks worth another chance with his yard in such good form and Simon Crisford’s charge is preferred to Sophosc. The latter failed to see out the 1m4f trip at Ascot last time but had been threatening to score over today’s distance before that. Michele Strogoff is back on a winning mark but is best at Wolverhampton of the all-weather surfaces while Let Rip has won over a mile at Lingfield, though was less than convincing over 1m2f two days ago. Secret Art remains out of form.
