Racing Post verdict
Third-partyElarak shares the top rating with Two Tribes but gets the nod as our selection on a more progressive profile. Royal Zabeel, Two Tribes and Great Acclaim all pose respected danger in this competitive Class 2 contest. With ratings closely bunched through the field, confidence in the pick is low.
