Ernest Gray gets the nod over the top-rated Roger Pol, just two pounds separating them on our figures, because his progressive profile suggests there is more to come over this marathon trip on good ground at Uttoxeter. He sits narrowly behind the top-rated runner, so there is little to choose on ability, and the upward trajectory is the tiebreaker. Roger Pol is the obvious danger, while Jubilant and Divilabother are close enough on the figures to complicate matters if the pace and stamina test suit them. This looks a tight contest, but Ernest Gray is the selection.
