Verdict

Preference is HOSTELRY, who continues to operate at a level below what she was capable of in 2025 but a drop to classified company combined with a first-time visor could well spark a revival. Millbuie was helped by having the run of the race when runner-up at Newcastle recently, but he rates as the main danger with a repeat, with Bridgefoot Rambler rounding off the shortlist.
