Racing Post verdict
Third-partyImperial Guard boasts the standout figure in this field and rates the one to beat, even though his bare form figures look modest on paper — the underlying level marks him out clearly above these rivals. Tap Dancer and Ramon Di Loria both have claims on a faster level than their recent finishes suggest, while Jkr Cobbler arrives with a recent win and could improve again. Imperial Guard's overall superiority makes him our selection with real confidence, with only his moderate official rating as a mild reservation.
