Racing Post verdict
Third-partyAalto comes in as the top-rated runner and brings winning course-and-distance form alongside a creditable run behind good horses here last season — an accommodating mark and the booking of Ryan Moore suggest connections are hopeful of a bounce-back after excuses last time. Mudbir is the most dangerous rival, a progressive type last year and now gelded with William Buick aboard for a confident trainer; Philanthropist adds consistent placed form at the right level. Aalto is our selection.
Racing Post pick: Aalto
