Racing Post verdict
Third-partyDuke Otto is our selection on figures, seven pounds to the good at the top of the ratings in this field of thirteen, and he has already run over today's trip and going. The obvious catch is the lay-off - a break of 154 days - and that alone makes this a low-confidence vote. Hatfield Hammer, fresher off a recent run, and Boola Times both look the sterner tests, while Rightfolksplease carries an even longer absence of his own at 537 days. Given the uncertainty over fitness, Duke Otto is only a tentative pick.
Racing Post pick: Duke Otto
