Our view
Best selection: Shaniko. Recent figures of 4423 – consistently in the frame; a Race DNA fit of 82 – today's going, trip and track suit what it has shown before; 18 days since its last run, a sensible gap; trainer Craig Lidster has had 9 winners from 164 runners in our recent records.
The case against: Enriched is close on the numbers; we can't yet confirm how it handles good to soft ground from our own records.
Others to consider: Enriched and Blake's Lass.
