Our view
Best selection: Mister Ursus. Last-season figures of 2211 – won last time; a Race DNA fit of 78 – today's going, trip and track suit what it has shown before; trainer Olly Murphy has had 161 winners from 817 runners in our recent records.
The case against: Returns from a long break, so fitness is a question; Arctic Voyage is close on the numbers; handicap marks are meant to level the field.
Others to consider: Arctic Voyage and Misterdoc.
