Our view

Best selection: Playing Card. Recent figures of 2 – shows some ability; 21 days since its last run, a sensible gap; trainer Harry Eustace has had 24 winners from 185 runners in our recent records.

The case against: Shared Odyssey is close on the numbers; we can't yet confirm how it handles good to soft ground from our own records.

Others to consider: Shared Odyssey and Hamrin.
