Karnaval Point 13/2
Karnaval Point shares the second-best Racing Post Rating in the field (142) with topweight Herakles Westwood, yet carries 12lb less (11st 2lb against 12st). Third last time out, he looks a fair 7/1 in an open amateurs' handicap.
Backup: Transmission (7/1)
Atomic City 5/2 ★ NAP
Atomic City holds the best Racing Post Rating (123) and topspeed figure (114) in the field, the latter 16 clear of the next best, and won on his debut for Joseph O'Brien. At 5/2 behind a one-run favourite with a topspeed figure of just 79, he is the one to be with.
Backup: Admiral Will Brown (11/2)
Old Park Star 11/10
Kabral Du Mathan heads this seven-runner Grade 2 on both Racing Post Rating (166) and topspeed figure (150), clear of Workahead by 7 and 8 points respectively, and won last time out. Old Park Star is unbeaten but has no figures to compare, so the proven class gets the nod.
Backup: Old Park Star (11/10)
Torneo 14/1
Torneo has won his last two starts and runs off 10st 7lb, 21lb below topweight Matata (12st), the sort of well-treated progressive type the handicapper can struggle to catch. At 18/1 in a 15-runner Premier Handicap he is a big price for a horse in form.
Backup: Meetmebythesea (5/2)
Aimeric 12/1
Aimeric has won his last two starts and has the second-best topspeed figure in the field (132, one behind Sir Galahad's 133). He also carries 10st 6lb, 22lb below topweight Ace Of Spades (12st), which makes 16/1 look big.
Backup: Geezer Rockstar (10/1)
Hillberry Hill 6/1
Hillberry Hill has won his last two starts and shares the second-best Racing Post Rating in the field (138) while carrying 13lb less than topweight Daylatedollarshort (11st 1lb against 12st). At 7/1 he looks the value against a 15/8 favourite beaten into eighth last time.
Backup: A King Of Magic (8/1)
Elegantemente 5/2
Elegantemente is the only runner above 120 on Racing Post Rating (123, with Clovelly Charm next on 118) and won on her debut for Henry de Bromhead. At 10/3 she is the best-credentialed runner in a field full of unknowns.
Backup: Eastern Whisper (6/1)
