Racing Post verdict
Third-partyThis seven-runner Class 1 over the Newmarket (July) round mile features a clear leader on our figures in Morris Dancer, rated 115 and three points clear of Shayem in second. Oxagon and Colori Forever both sit within a handful of pounds of the principals, giving this race strength in depth at the top, while Conclave and Wild Desert make up the frame further back and Lyneham remains unrated on our figures. Given how clear that lead looks, Morris Dancer is our selection with high confidence, with Shayem, Oxagon and Colori Forever the three most obvious dangers to note.
