Racing Post verdict
Third-partyTango Flare is our selection, preferred on a progressive profile despite sitting just a pound behind the joint-top-rated pair on our figures. He's on the up, following a below-par effort with a win two starts back and second last time out, and he has raced over today's trip and going before. Bodhi Bear and Keke, rated a pound higher, head the danger list, with Dark Thirty another leading threat on a strong recent record. It's a tightly-bunched race up front, but Tango Flare's improving profile edges it.
