Racing Post verdict
Third-partyNever So Brave tops our ratings and has struggled to show his best in both runs this term — failing to settle over a longer trip first time out, then encountering soft ground at Epsom. Back at 7f on a sound surface at York, where he has course form, and without a penalty, he is significantly the most appealing. Saber Strike landed two wins before last week's Group 3 reversal and remains a danger, while Qirat adds a tongue-tie but has been well below his best throughout this campaign. Never So Brave is our selection.
