Racing Post verdict

Third-party

Norwalk Havoc is our selection, seven pounds clear of the field on a figure of 114. Dunum, rated 107, is the most obvious danger, with Lord Massusus (103) and Ribee (101) also holding solid claims in this twenty-runner heat. The margin to Dunum represents a real but not overwhelming edge, and with confidence high, Norwalk Havoc is the pick to follow home.

Racing Post pick: Norwalk Havoc
