Racing Post verdict
Third-partyLord d'Or stood out when going close in a competitive York novice on his second start, beaten less than a length, and that performance marks him as the clear standout here. Steel Raven caught the eye on his Carlisle debut behind two useful sorts and represents the main threat, with Prince Of Calypso consistent across both starts and the well-bred Woheela earning significant market respect on debut. Lord d'Or is our selection.
Racing Post pick: Lord d'Or
