      Verdict

      NINJAGO is well clear of the opposition on official figures. Richard Hannon's colt has won both starts over today's distance including at Kempton last time and will have to run way below his best in the soft ground to lose this. Miliika looks next best despite disappointing when favourite at Nottingham last time, while today's more favourable terms should ensure Kicken Off gets the better of both Love Island and Brick Tops. Kashmiri Star will do well to figure in this company.
