“Sat behind front pack early - improved into 4th four out - made ground to loom into contention two out - moved up to second and pressed rivals turning in - hit the front with a furlong and a half left - held on gamely to the finish”

Pundit pick: Tell Us This

Crescent Moon rates the highest of this 23-strong field, but Tell Us This is our selection, preferred on a fitness edge and a progressive profile through his recent starts. He arrives with today's trip and going already covered and a win in that recent form to fall back on. Leave In Secret and Butter Fingers join Crescent Moon as the chief dangers, all rated inside the leading handful, which keeps confidence in the selection at medium.
