Racing Post verdict
Third-partyFlight Control shares the top spot on our figures with Mr Noble, but a fuller and equally solid recent record, plus experience over today's distance and going, edges him our selection. Toastmaster and Zarvali both sit within a few pounds and have their own strong recent form, making this a very open renewal. Mr Noble's placed-in-every-start record marks him the most obvious danger, while Toastmaster's rock-solid consistency and Zarvali's recent placed efforts also demand respect. Our selection is Flight Control, narrowly preferred in a race that could easily throw up a surprise.
