Racing Post verdict
Third-partyMalbas is the pick on our figures, a rating of 106 putting him a few pounds clear of this 19-runner field over the marathon 19-furlong trip on good ground. King Of The Greys (102) is nearest on the book, with Circus Act (100) and Whispering Willow (98) also holding solid claims as the chief dangers. That rating edge makes Malbas a confident selection, though the strength in depth from those three means they can't be discounted.
