Racing Post verdict
Third-partyBynx is narrowly behind the top-rated Solsbury Hill on ratings but holds a meaningful fitness edge that could prove decisive over this stamina-testing sixteen furlongs at Wexford on good ground. Solsbury Hill must be respected as the chief danger, with Ned In The Park and Lady Doyanne also capable of making their presence felt in what looks a competitive staying contest. **Bynx** is our selection, though confidence is modest given the quality of the opposition.
