What the facts say

Our view

Best selection: Talk of New York. Recent figures of 1321 – won last time; a Race DNA fit of 89 – today's going, trip and track suit what it has shown before; 22 days since its last run, a sensible gap; trainer Charlie Appleby has had 135 winners from 474 runners in our recent records.

The case against: Gstaad is close on the numbers.

Others to consider: Gstaad and More Thunder.
