Racing Post verdict
Third-partySon produced a solid effort at York last time, going within two lengths of the winner off this mark in a performance that matched his best level, and our figures place him comfortably clear of the field. The Gay Blade is in fine form with three straight wins to his name, though the rapidly rising mark is becoming a real test, while Abduction and Iris Dancer are both serious dangers with strong recent form. Son is our selection.
Racing Post pick: Son
