Great Pepper heads our ratings on 122, three pounds clear of Cavalier du Luy and One More Stroke, which gives him a narrow but genuine edge in a tight-looking ten-runner contest over two and a half miles on good to soft ground. Cavalier du Luy and One More Stroke are the obvious dangers on 119, with Moon Phases a little further back on 115 and still capable of making the frame if the principals falter. Nothing in the figures separates this field by much, so confidence is low, but Great Pepper’s superior rating makes him the sound choice. Our selection is Great Pepper.
