Racing Post verdict
Third-partyLittle Ted is our selection, having been runner-up in two of his last three starts, most recently when narrowly beaten at Newcastle. A 2lb rise looks manageable, and although this looks a competitive, medium-confidence heat, his placed form edges it. Sovereign Bright, dropping back in trip and fitted with cheekpieces for the first time, rates the biggest danger, while My Ambition, who had been in good form before racing too freely last time, and the consistent Stole My Heart also merit plenty of respect.
Racing Post pick: Little Ted
