Racing Post verdict

Third-party

Londoner heads this field narrowly ahead of Epictetus on form figures and has the look of a horse well suited by this trip on ground that should play to his strengths at Lingfield. Epictetus is the chief danger and will need watching throughout, while Starlight Time and Percival are capable of making their presence felt if either finds improvement on the day. On balance, the form reading points firmly in one direction. **Londoner** is our selection.

Racing Post pick: Londoner
