      In depth

      Verdict

      Humility gets the vote over Sincerely and Sovereignty, with Generator also worth a mention. A look at the weights reveals that Humility should have the edge over Sincerely today, as he now enjoys a 5lb pull with that rival for the margin of less than two-lengths that separated them at Lingfield last month. With Eddie Ahern taking over in the plate, a big run is anticipated from Charles Cyzer's charge. Sovereignty has been running into form, and with his young pilot taking off a handy 7lb, can also get involved, while recent winner Generator has to be given a mention at least, although he needs to find more. All in all, the weights favour Humility, and allied to his high draw, the five-year-old is the pick in an otherwise competitive handicap.
