What the facts say

Our view

Best selection: Gregory. Recent figures of 11 – won last time; a Race DNA fit of 70 – today's going, trip and track suit what it has shown before; 23 days since its last run, a sensible gap; trainer John & Thady Gosden has had 149 winners from 801 runners in our recent records.

The case against: Daiquiri Bay is close on the numbers.

Others to consider: Daiquiri Bay and Caballo de Mar.
