Racing Post verdict
Third-partyThis is a modest race even by the standards of this level, with barely daylight between the principals on our figures. Bunker Bay just edges it, having been runner-up in this sequence and adding first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces that could sharpen him for this test over an extended trip. Not So Sobers, a winner last time out, together with the improving Himself and the quickly-reappearing Speechman, all pose danger from close behind, but Bunker Bay is our selection with a fair degree of confidence in a race that looks there for the taking.
