Bells Of Ufford heads the ratings narrowly ahead of Captain Connor and represents the strongest case on paper in this Class 5 staying contest over twenty-two furlongs at Stratford on good-to-firm ground, though the closeness of the assessments means little separates the principals. Captain Connor is the most obvious threat given he sits just a pound behind and will need watching throughout, while Kotgar and Brionywells add further depth to the dangers and ensure this is no straightforward task. Confidence is not high in a competitive small field, but on balance Bells Of Ufford is the call.
