Racing Post verdict
Third-partyCheckandchallenge sits on top of our figures in this competitive race and is a fair type to place trust in on pure form, despite an inconsistent scoreline to date. Cerulean Bay and Cosi Bello both rate close behind and look the most likely to turn it into a close finish, with Apiarist also in the shake-up. Confidence is low given how tightly this field is rated, but Checkandchallenge remains our selection.
