Analyst verdict
Locked 10:13 GMT · #1e1c28 · updated 13:28 GMT (v2)
A clear market leader heads a wide-open field, but nothing stands out enough to back.
No horse in this field offers a strong enough case to be worth backing with confidence. The favourite looks fair but unexciting, and the alternatives all carry real doubts.
How the race should unfold The Bosses Order looks the only confirmed front-runner, but is probably too limited to win. Coolishael should sit close to the pace as the one horse with a solid run of placed efforts, with If You Believe and others expected to chase him down in the closing stages.
# Contender and why we differ from the market Ours ■ vs market ■ Win chance
1
Coolishael Coolishael is rightly the one to beat, having been placed in all four starts, though the stable has been quiet of late.
30% / 27%
2
If You Believe If You Believe is attracting plenty of support and ran well on similar ground last time, but a long layoff and jumping slips are a concern.
23% / 11%
3
Give It A Crack Give It A Crack met today's favourite before and was beaten well clear, and the excuse offered doesn't fully explain that gap.
14% / 14%
4
Jury Time Jury Time keeps finishing close up in big fields and has the stronger training figures behind him, with a solid run last time out.
12% / 8%
Red flags If You Believe has not raced for a year and has a history of jumping mistakes. Give It A Crack has already been beaten by the favourite and needs more than one excuse to turn that around. Jury Time's case is interesting but not strong enough on its own to be confident.
