Racing Post verdict
Third-partyLoughrea is rated second of seven on our figures at 93, just a point behind Aviatrice's 94, but his progressive profile through his recent starts earns him the vote as our selection. He has been improving with each outing and looks capable of building on that again here. Aviatrice, Invincible Will and How'sthebai all rate as the main dangers on our figures, with Aviatrice the obvious threat given the head figure. It's no better than medium confidence, but Loughrea's upward curve edges it for us over the highest-rated runner.
Racing Post pick: Loughrea
