Ike Sport looks the right one to side with here, a progressive sort whose rating of 133 is only a pound behind Stream of Stars at the top, so the upward trajectory is enough to tip the balance in his favour. Stream of Stars is the obvious danger given he heads the ratings, while Kocktail Bleu shares Ike Sport's figure and Range, at 129, is the next best of the dangers and not out of it either. Those three apart, the rest are rated 5 lb or more below our pick, which leaves Ike Sport well placed to take advantage on the good ground over two and a half miles. Ike Sport is the selection.
