Racing Post verdict
Third-partyOur figures make Slaney Swagger the pick of this field of 22, rated highest despite a couple of unplaced runs of late, with earlier placed efforts and proven form over today's distance and going in support. The principal dangers on the figures are Burford Beauty, a close second having also been placed last time out, William F Browne third and quick to return only eight days after his last run, and Max Meridius fourth to complete the front four. It shapes as a competitive, closely-matched race and this is only a low-confidence vote, but Slaney Swagger is our selection on the balance of the form.
