Al Mootamarid is our selection, and he looks the right call over this 18f trip on good ground. He comes into the race fitter than the top-rated Teorie, who is only two pounds ahead of him on our figures, and his progressive profile and proven record on these conditions make that small gap easy to overturn. Teorie is the main danger, while Lady Dapple Rose and Lord Cauvelliere are both within five pounds of our pick and cannot be ignored in a tight-looking Class 5 at Stratford. Al Mootamarid has the profile to get the better of them, and he is the pick.
