Racing Post verdict
Third-partyMister Sox holds a narrow lead at the head of our ratings but needs to find his form again after failing to stay the trip last time and a run of poor efforts; blinkers are fitted for the first time and a top course trainer gives the best chance of a revival. Rock Opera landed a handicap here last time and remains competitively weighted despite a penalty, while The Good Biscuit met trouble when fourth last time and Badri has a fair mark from stall 4. Mister Sox is our selection.
Racing Post pick: Mister Sox
