Our view

Best selection: Mister Sox. Recent figures of 5361 – won last time; a Race DNA fit of 77 – today's going, trip and track suit what it has shown before; 12 days since its last run, a sensible gap; trainer Tim Easterby has had 278 winners from 3285 runners in our recent records.

The case against: Belsito is close on the numbers; handicap marks are meant to level the field.

Others to consider: Belsito and Woodstock.
