Lots with chances but Jamie Snowden's MARCHE D'ALIGRE rates just the pick of the weights on the back of a resurgent Wetherby second and hails from a yard in fine form so edges the vote. Excellent Huntingdon second Caelan heads the list of dangers, although Across Earth, Ocean Conquest and Fight My Fire all warrant plenty of respect too. Courageous Strike completes the shortlist.

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: The pace doesn’t look like being overly strong here and Ocean Conquest should still be served best by being ridden prominently: The forecast decent pace still isn’t likely to sway the advantage towards those usually ridden further back such as is Marche D'aligre.
Individual Price Hint: Galactic Charm traded at 10% or less of Betfair SP twice on its last 5 starts: Marche D'aligre traded at 25% or less of Betfair SP twice and 50% or less of Betfair SP on 3 of its last 5 starts.
