Jupiter Allen is our selection for this 24-furlong test at Chepstow, and his progressive profile is the reason to side with him over Into The Park, who is rated just a pound better on our figures. With a gap that narrow, the upward trajectory counts for more than a marginal edge on paper, and the ground is good to soft. Into The Park, Reallyntruthfully and Magical King are the main dangers, all within three pounds of our pick, so this is a competitive 18-runner event and not one for strong claims. Jupiter Allen gets the nod on his improving profile.
