Analyst verdict Locked 09:11 BST · #d69b0f · updated 16:04 BST (v2)

A tightly packed field looks set for a close finish, with no clear edge over the market.

None of the leading contenders look clearly underpriced against the market, so there isn't a standout chance worth backing in this race.

How the race should unfoldWith two horses likely to share the pace, there's no obvious breakaway leader, so the field should stay bunched into the final stretch. The outcome looks set to hinge on class and freshness rather than tactics, with several runners holding genuine claims and none standing out as a clear springer compared to the market price.

1

Sky Captain

The likely favourite has winning form over this trip and a strong trainer-jockey pairing, but carries the biggest weight in a large field.

22% / 16%

2

Truth Be Told

Shows the strongest peak form in the race and has won at this course and distance before, though a long layoff and a recent dip in form are a concern.

13% / 12%

3

Night Moon

An interesting outsider whose best past form is well above this field's level, and the stable has already had a winner at the meeting today.

10% / 8%

4

Latin America

Carries the highest official rating in the race, a progressive younger horse with solid form against strong rivals.

8% / 9%

Red flags

The favourite's big weight burden in a 15-runner field has historically been a disadvantage.The fancied outsider's price has drifted slightly rather than shortened, despite the positive angle in its favour.The horse with the strongest peak form is returning from a lengthy break and has cooled off since its best.
