Known Warrior gets the nod at Plumpton, where his fitness edge, progressive profile and more solid book of form make him the preferred option over Kapability, who is only two pounds better on our figures. That slim gap is easily bridged by a horse arriving in sharper condition and still heading in the right direction over this 20-furlong trip on good ground. Kapability is the chief danger as the top-rated runner, while Onewayortother, three pounds behind our pick, and Lord Maher also have to be respected. Known Warrior is the selection.
