Racing Post verdict
Third-partyTilehurst edges our figures for this Worcester contest, but Break Point is our selection, preferred on a progressive profile despite sitting a pound behind on rating. That gap is negligible, and Break Point's consistent recent form supports the case for taking him on ahead of the nominal top-rated runner. Tilehurst, Media Mogul and Kernie d'Airy are the chief dangers in a competitive field, and our confidence in the selection is measured rather than emphatic.
