RACING POST VERDICT

At Worcester, Final Entry is our selection, preferred over the higher-rated The Great Escape on a progressive profile, a fitness edge, and proven form over today's conditions. The Great Escape sits highest of this seven-runner field on our figures and remains the obvious danger, while Ikigai Star and Kantagua Du Large both have the form to feature too. Confidence in Final Entry is moderate rather than overwhelming, but the rounded case makes it the right side to take against the bare figures.

Our Expert Tip

Warners Cross and Kantagua Du Large both come into this race looking dangerously handicapped.
A small win selection on each is recommended. Both horses come with risks attached, but if they put their best foot forward, they have very strong chances of winning.
