Gordon Bennett is the classiest dog in this field with the joint-highest average performance and the best track suitability score of 78 — he clearly loves Monmore. Two wins from his last five starts here, both showing strong closing efforts, confirm he's in good form at this venue. His closing style is perfectly suited to this fair track where front-runners frequently come back to the field. The concern is trap 3, which is the weakest-performing box at these conditions, but his class edge is large enough to overcome a structural headwind. His pace consistency of 88 is outstanding — you know what you'll get from him every time.
