Smugglers Haven shares the top rating alongside King Roly, the pair narrowly ahead of Yes Day on 124 and Palamon on 121, making this a genuinely competitive staying contest at Worcester. Smugglers Haven tops the ratings on 127 and gets the nod at the head of the weights, though King Roly represents the most obvious danger given he matches him on the figures, and Yes Day and Palamon are not without claims either. The confidence here is modest, and any one of the leading quartet could come out on top on good ground over twenty-three furlongs. On balance, the selection is Smugglers Haven.
