Racing Post verdict

Third-party

This looks a red-hot handicap, but TRIBAL CHIEF, our selection, gets the vote for finishing full of running over an inadequate trip last time, after which he was denied a clear passage and left with too much to do; he's proven he handles quick ground before and the step back up to today's longer trip should suit ideally. Indalo, who overcame a testing draw bias last time to book a leading position in another red-hot field, rates the most obvious danger and looks sure to confirm that effort, while progressive types River King and City Of Poets, both operating from workable marks, City Of Poets for a yard in good form, also demand plenty of respect. It's desperately competitive, but TRIBAL CHIEF's stamina for this longer trip and general progress edge it for us.

Racing Post pick: Tribal Chief
