Racing Post verdict
Third-partyJacovec Cavern heads this seven-runner Wexford staying contest on a rating narrowly ahead of Sphagnum and four pounds clear of Rue Taylor, and the form book supports that position with consistent performances over this sort of trip. Sphagnum and Rue Taylor represent the chief dangers, with Duty Bound also capable of making his presence felt at this distance on good ground. On balance, though, Jacovec Cavern looks the most complete package in the field and is expected to see out the gruelling 25 furlongs strongly. **Jacovec Cavern** is our selection.
Racing Post pick: Jacovec Cavern
