Well-weighted and drawn ideally, the gelding should get a perfect run from barrier 3. While untested on soft tracks, his consistency and tactical speed make him the one to beat.
Fortune's Luck is a strong second pick, boasting impressive soft track credentials and recent form. The mare's ability to handle the conditions, combined with William Pike in the saddle, makes her a serious contender. The wide draw is the main concern, but her proven ability at the distance is a significant advantage.
Leniency is a solid third choice, benefiting from a significant class drop and proven soft track ability. The gelding's consistency and good barrier draw are positives, but the top weight is a concern. If he can recapture his best form, he could challenge the top selections.
The gelding's improving form and lightweight status make him an intriguing prospect.

Forever Boy is on an upward trajectory with impressive recent form. The main question marks are his limited soft track experience and the class rise, but his overall profile is strong.
Dennis Choux brings consistency and soft track ability to this race. His inside barrier draw is advantageous, and he's experienced at this class level. The main concerns are the high weight and unproven stamina over 2000m, but his overall profile suggests he can be competitive.
