Mad To Cashout is the class act here by some distance, with the highest average performance in the field at 85. His closing style is perfect for this 630-metre staying test where the faders in traps 2, 3, and 5 will set a strong early pace that should burn out by the final two bends. He has proven form at Monmore over this trip with a win and placed efforts, and his sectional times show he finishes strongly when others weaken. The concern is trap 1, which is the worst-performing box at these conditions from the small dataset — just 6.7% from 15 runs — but the sample is tiny and his class advantage of 8 points or more above most rivals should be the decisive factor. J B Thompson's yard is modest at 12% but this dog's ability speaks for itself.
