Racing Post verdict

Third-party

Al Maslool may sit a couple of pounds behind the top-rated Robusto on these figures, but his progressive profile suggests there is more to come and he looks the one most likely to improve into this trip of a mile and a half on good-to-firm ground at Leicester. Robusto represents the chief threat and must be respected, with Barak Warrior and Mountbatten also capable of making their presence felt in a modest Class 5 heat. **Al Maslool** is our selection.

Racing Post pick: Al Maslool
