Analyst verdict Locked 10:20 GMT · #adc039 · updated 15:41 GMT (v2)
A messy, stamina-sapping test on heavy ground leaves no bet worth taking here.

Beyond the strongest fancy, the other contenders don't offer enough of an edge over the market to back: some show only a small gap to the current odds with no clear reasoning behind it, and the horse bouncing back from a poor run comes from an angle with a disappointing recent history. With no second case standing up to scrutiny, we're passing on this race.

How the race should unfoldWith no confirmed pace-setter in the field, the early gallop looks likely to be uneven over this long trip. Heavy ground will sap energy late, so the finish should go to whoever conserves the most for the closing stages rather than whoever leads early.
1
Kotari
Drops in class and already has a course-and-distance win, but the big weight she carries and a possibly too-fast recent run are real concerns on this soft, tiring ground.
33% / 33%
2
Wrist Art
Comes from a yard in excellent recent form, carries a light weight, was close up last time out and has a solid record against several of today's rivals.
12% / 9%
3
Glitter Code
Has performed well at this level before and holds a fair record against today's field, though there is little to clearly set her apart from how she is currently rated.
10% / 9%
4
Good Onya Mate
Well fancied, but the stable is out of form, the jockey's recent strike rate is poor, and carrying a big weight adds to the doubts.
8% / 11%
5
Si White
Form dropped sharply last time, with a reasonable explanation offered, and he has won over this trip before, though confidence in this type of case is limited.
8% / 8%
Red flags
The market leader carries top weight on testing ground over a long trip, which could blunt her finish.The uneven pace makes it hard to know which running style will be favoured.One recovery angle being considered has a weak recent track record, adding doubt.
