Racing Post verdict
Third-partyBig Dispute holds a clear advantage over this field on ratings, sitting 13 lb clear of the next-best Genoah, and the ten-furlong trip on good ground at Naas looks tailor-made for a horse of his experience and class. Genoah and Daler are the most credible threats in what is a competitive mid-division bunch, while Diamond Exchange cannot be entirely dismissed if conditions play to her strengths. The ratings edge is substantial enough to overcome a degree of uncertainty, and the case for our selection remains compelling. **Big Dispute** is the call.
