Burdett Road heads our figures on 149, and while the gap is only narrow, that is enough to make him the pick in a field where the top end looks tightly packed. Rubaud is just a pound behind on 148 and looks the chief danger, with Golden Ace on 146 and Wilful on 142 also firmly in the picture over this 17f trip. Mirabad on 140 is not far off that group, but the bottom three are rated a fair way below the leading quartet and look up against it. Burdett Road gets the nod as the best-rated runner, though this is far from a one-horse race.
