Verdict, Market Read & Value Calls
The market makes Great the clear favourite (implied 24% chance) at 9/4, trained by Sam England. Spirit Of Applause is the chief market rival at 3/1.
★ Top pick · Top pick: Great. Best price available at BetTom — historically translates to roughly a one-in-three strike rate at favourite-level pricing.
★ Each-way value · Each-way value sits with Spirit Of Applause at 3/1. The price gives place hunters a margin of safety, particularly with bookies paying Extra Places in big-field handicaps.
★ Bigger-priced angle · The bigger-priced angle: Riffa Spirit at 25/1. Form figures of -43876 show place form within recent runs — at a double-digit price the each-way play covers downside risk if the favourites duel.
Class 5 · 5f3y · Good to firm going · Favourite's trainer is striking at 10% over the last 14 days.
