Racing Post verdict
Third-partyEpictetus merits strong consideration despite sitting two pounds behind the top-rated Arcadian Nights, with a progressive profile and a fitness edge making the narrow deficit look surmountable on this good-to-firm ground at Sandown over ten furlongs. Arcadian Nights heads the dangers alongside Warning Sign and What's The Plan, but our selection's upward trajectory suggests there is more improvement to come. **Epictetus** is the pick.
Racing Post pick: Epictetus
