RACING POST VERDICT

Drifts Away heads this seven-runner Newmarket mile on a rating that puts him narrowly ahead of Rising Force and a clear step above the rest, and the straight, galloping track on good-to-firm ground should suit a horse with the scope to travel strongly through the race. Rising Force is the obvious danger and cannot be dismissed lightly, while Born A Rebel and Crimson Rambler add further depth to the opposition and will ensure no easy lead is handed over. The confidence is medium rather than high, but Drifts Away's edge over the field looks genuine enough to see him home if producing his best. **Drifts Away** is our selection.
