RACING POST VERDICT

Best Rate is our selection, clear at the top of our figures after winning last time out and rarely being far away in the runs before that. With that in-form claim and today's trip already covered, he looks the type to confirm his position at the head of this Class 4 field. The main dangers sit close behind on figures, a group with useful recent placings and, in one case, a big gap between bare results and what we make of the horse underneath. Confidence in the selection is medium, with this field packed tightly enough for those dangers to have their say.
