Racing Post verdict
Third-partyFoinix heads this modest Brighton staying contest on a rating three points clear of Gearing's Point, and the form behind that gap looks solid enough to take seriously over twelve furlongs on good-to-firm ground. Gearing's Point represents the most obvious threat, with Dream Of Ithaca and Dogged also capable of making things interesting if Foinix fails to fire. **Foinix** is the selection.
Racing Post pick: Foinix
