Racing Post verdict
Third-partyThis is a competitive handicap that's tricky to be dogmatic about, with lightly raced, largely unexposed form throughout the field. Ironwill gets the nod on the back of two wins in his last five starts, and the manner of his latest effort under this same mark suggests there's more capable to come. Winding Stream, dropping into notably easier company than he has lately faced, poses the biggest threat, while the unbeaten I'll Be Back and the ever-reliable Aqua Bear round out the leading dangers to the selection.
