Racing Post verdict
Third-partySeven runners go to post at Doncaster over this mile on good to firm, and there's little to separate the leading contenders. Myrrh heads our figures on a rating of 73, with Kiss Me My Love and Okiru both firmly in the mix as leading dangers. We prefer Norcross Brow, though, who won last time out and shows a genuinely progressive profile even without matching the top figure on the book, and he's our selection with confidence admittedly low in such a tight race.
