      In depth

      Verdict

      Barring accidents, this looks a straight match between previous winners Captain Tommy and UMNDENI. The former easily won a Fontwell maiden last month but the latter has the stronger form beating a subsequent winner, also at Fontwell, before running down the field in a Class 2 handicap at Ascot. The others are likely to be playing for places.
