RACING POST VERDICT

Quebecois is the pick on our figures, rated 137 and a full 9 lb better than Country Mile on 128, which is a meaningful edge in a four-runner contest over 21 furlongs on good ground. Country Mile is the main danger and the one most likely to make him work, while El Capitaine (118) and Leading Choice (116) look to have a good deal to find. With so small a field, a smooth trip should see Quebecois do enough, though confidence is only low. Quebecois is the selection.
