7/1
A 3-y-o handicap chock full of interesting sorts but perhaps none more so than MCMURRAY, who progressed well at 2 yrs and still looks on a favourable mark based on the strength of his form (beat the now 94-rated Crest of Light at Doncaster on penultimate outing). Factual cemented a positive start to his career with a determined success at Newcastle in February and remains open to improvement, while good cases can also be made for Strength of Spirit and the selection's stablemate Moonfall.

Race Hints

Specific Pace Hint: Of those forecasted with a better chance, Factual could be most vulnerable in a race in which competition for the lead looks to be fierce: There is a chance of a pace burnout early, and Strength Of Spirit is one who may benefit from being produced later.
Individual Price Hint: Mcmurray traded at more than 10 times Betfair SP and 2 times Betfair SP when winning on 2 of its last 5 starts: I'm Just Ken traded at 10% or less of Betfair SP and 50% or less of Betfair SP on 2 of its last 3 starts.
