RACING POST VERDICT
Character Testing is preferred here despite sitting 6 lb behind Peace Motivator on ratings, with a fitness edge and a more consistent book of form making the case that the top-rated runner may not yet be at his sharpest. Twilight Safari and Expert Analysis, both rated 88, represent the next tier of dangers and cannot be dismissed in a competitive ten-runner field over this extended trip at Sedgefield. The confidence in this selection is modest, and Peace Motivator in particular could prove the verdict wrong if fully wound up. The vote, with reservations, goes to Character Testing.
