Racing Post verdict
Third-partyJalila Moriviere catches the eye here on a progressive profile that suggests she has more to offer than a bare rating comparison with the top-rated Addragoole might imply, and her proven ability on good ground at a testing distance gives her a clear fitness edge in a field of 22. Addragoole heads the assessments by a pound and must be respected, while Hermino AA and Lord Lariat are well-weighted dangers with every chance of running into a place. That said, the progressive trajectory and conditions that suit make Jalila Moriviere the one to be with. **Selection: Jalila Moriviere**
