Racing Post verdict
Third-partyBrighlee is our selection and tops this six-runner field on our figures, rated 85 against 81 for Saxophonist and 79 for Shadow Brigade, a four-to-six-pound edge over that pair. Those two, plus Zarco, form the main dangers on paper. Alterity and Time Twister make up the remainder but rate further back again. Confidence in this selection is high.
Racing Post pick: Brighlee
