The standout candidate is ROUSING ENCORE, who caught the eye when a close fourth at York three weeks ago and he looks tailor-made for this cavalry charge. Grant Wood landed the Silver Trophy on this card in 2024 and should be spot-on for this following his recent spin back from a break in the C&D handicap won by Mister Sox. He is second choice, with Rock Opera, who was just ahead of Rousing Encore at York but avoided the traffic problems that rival encountered, also of real interest.

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: Of those forecasted with a better chance, Kodiac Thriller and Alzahir could be the most susceptible in a race in which competition for the lead looks plentiful: A proliferation of possible pace-forcers could set things up for those coming from further back: Rock Opera and Grant Wood are two who may benefit.
Individual Price Hint: Supreme King traded at 10% or less of Betfair SP and 50% or less of Betfair SP on 2 of its last 5 starts: Rock Opera has traded at 50% or less of Betfair SP twice on its last 5 starts.
