Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Dr Seb
Dr Seb heads this Sedgefield field on a rating clearly ahead of Lipstick Traces and comfortably clear of the remainder, and over this extended trip on good ground he looks the one they all have to beat; Lipstick Traces is the most obvious danger alongside East Eagle and Luminaries, but none of them appears to hold a convincing case against the selection on current form. Dr Seb is the pick.
