The pick. Tops the composite, speed, recent average and peak performance reads in the field — the cleanest data alignment of the race. Has won twice in his last six (an A6 by clear margin in late April, then an A5 a fortnight back leading from the half-way despite being bumped at the third bend) and ran an honest second in A5 last week beaten five and a half lengths. Edward Bell is having a productive week with his runners and the rails-to-middle running line should give him an uncluttered route.
