      In depth

      Verdict

      COMMIS D’OFFICE (NAP) is only a pound higher than when successful at Southwell 12 months ago. He ran his best race of this season last time at Newbury and would not need to improve much on that to go one better here. The going will likely be too testing for Romanor and Le Ligerien has two ways of running so Morgenstern might be the danger after a better effort last time at Stratford.
