Racing Post verdict
Third-partyStem holds a narrow edge over Insanity at the top of this 12-runner Class 2 at Ascot, with Claymore and Enemy close behind on identical ratings, making this a genuinely competitive affair on good-to-firm ground over a mile and a half. The selection's profile suggests enough quality to hold sway at the finish, though Insanity represents the most pressing threat and cannot be dismissed lightly, while Claymore and Enemy are also dangers if the pace suits. Confidence is not high in what looks an open heat, and any one of three rivals could reverse the picture on the day. **Stem** is our selection.
