Racing Post verdict
Third-partyHappy Banner heads our figures for this Class 5 over Epsom's 8f, backed by a string of places — two seconds and two thirds — even though the win still eludes him. Swiped and Tronido are rated right behind him, Swiped with placed form of his own and Tronido a recent winner, while Play Me adds further depth to a well-matched field. It's a competitive heat and our confidence in the selection is low, but Happy Banner edges it as our pick on the figures.
