Racing Post verdict

Third-party

Hillview heads our figures in this Class 4 by 7 lb from Charging Thunder, with Campaign Trail and Lion Of The Desert also worth respecting on their recent form. It's a competitive enough field that our confidence sits at medium rather than high. Even so, Hillview's figure is the best in this five-runner line-up, and he is our selection at Stratford.

Racing Post pick: Hillview
