RACING POST VERDICT

The choice is TRAVIS WHEATLEY, who has run two sound races with cheekpieces, particularly when third in a decent race at Ayr last time.

Racing Post Pick
Travis Wheatley
Our Expert Tip

Open contest here but with plenty of pace in this race it should set up perfectly for a late closer, and that may suit the now well-handicapped HEART ABOVE.
With the jockey’s claim he gets in here off 99, which is 5lb below his last winning mark, and gets a really strong verdict here.
