RACING POST VERDICT

Senator gets the nod in this small Stratford field, holding a narrow three-pound edge on our figures over Ignore The Door and Kilworth, who share the same rating of 111. That gap is slim rather than decisive, but it is enough to make him the one to beat over 22 furlongs on good ground. Ignore The Door and Kilworth are the principal dangers, and Depalma, a further six pounds adrift of our pick, cannot be dismissed entirely in a four-runner contest. Senator is the selection, though only by a modest margin.
