Racing Post verdict
Third-partyWitness Stand tops our figures on 116 in this tightly-packed Chester Class 1 and gets the nod as our selection. Tiber Flow (110) and Holguin (108) both carry solid recent form and are the biggest dangers, with Myal also in the mix. It's a low-confidence verdict given how close this looks, but Witness Stand's clear edge on figures makes him the one to side with.
