Racing Post verdict
Third-partyAphra Behn shaped with promise on debut at Salisbury and with a 5lb allowance off the males, the step up to 7f should bring more improvement from the Ralph Beckett filly. Athos is the danger, having met a decent field at York first time and likely to improve for the greater test of stamina. Lord Ragnar steps forward again having made significant progress from debut to runner-up last time. Aphra Behn is our selection.
Racing Post pick: Aphra Behn
