Our view
Best selection: Fiveandahalf. Recent figures of 1 – won last time; a Race DNA fit of 80 – today's going, trip and track suit what it has shown before; trainer Gavin Cromwell has had 79 winners from 953 runners in our recent records.
The case against: returns from a long break, so fitness is a question.
Others to consider: Thinkitdontjinxit and Apache Peak.
