Racing Post verdict

Third-party

Based put in his best handicap run at Wolverhampton last time, winning by two lengths and finishing with purpose, and the 6lb rise is a risk but our rating puts this runner clear at the top. Maynora has been consistent and finished close enough last time to be a clear danger, while Saxon Prince should benefit from dropping to 7f after not staying the mile. Based is our selection.
