Our view

Best selection: Lone Warrior. Recent figures of 2 – shows some ability; the highest official rating in the field (82); a Race DNA fit of 80 – today's going, trip and track suit what it has shown before; trainer George Scott has had 24 winners from 195 runners in our recent records.

The case against: returns from a long break, so fitness is a question; Ensor Mews is close on the numbers; we can't yet confirm how it handles good to soft ground from our own records.

Others to consider: Ensor Mews and Certainty.
