RACING POST VERDICT

Banana Three tops our figures in this seven-runner race, though his lead over Booklight, next best on our book, is just 8 lb, and our confidence in the selection is only low. Booklight is the obvious chief danger on rating, with Rising Sky and Memories Maker also holding solid claims not far behind. Banana Three remains the selection, but this looks the sort of race that could easily throw up an upset.
