Racing Post verdict
Third-partyLittle Empire is our selection in a tightly-bunched field, preferred to the higher-rated Barbapapa on a progressive profile and a fitness edge rather than raw figures alone. Barbapapa (84), Thenandnow (83) and Watch Tower (82) all rate within two pounds of him and represent the chief dangers in a race with little to choose between the principals. Confidence in this verdict is low given how tightly the ratings are bunched, but Little Empire's overall profile edges it for us.
