Cavolo Nero heads this nine-runner Kempton affair narrowly ahead of Talis Evolvere on ratings and brings strong claims over this all-weather mile on a standard-to-slow surface, where his class advantage over the bulk of the field looks meaningful. Talis Evolvere and Helm Rock are the most credible dangers, with Malachy's Wish also capable of making things interesting if running to a peak, so Cavolo Nero may need to be at his best to see them off. Confidence is medium rather than absolute, but the edge in quality points one way, and the selection is Cavolo Nero.
