Jentobello (SR 124, 4/7) is the clear selection despite trailing Fine Thing marginally on SR. The market has steamed in 18% to a dominant 4/7 favouritism, reflecting genuine confidence from connections. Brian Hughes (19% strike rate, 964 career rides) is a significant booking upgrade over Fine Thing's Harry Atkins (11%, 145 rides — a limited sample). Crucially, Jentobello brings confirmed course form (W1P2 at Kelso), proven distance aptitude (DistFit:+), and confirmed going fitness (GoingFit:+) — three alignment signals that Fine Thing cannot match, given Fine Thing's unproven distance record (DistFit:?) and a 29% market drift that is a meaningful warning sign regardless of its Dan Skelton trainer advantage.
Each-way alternative: Fine Thing.
Main danger: Fine Thing — Fine Thing's SR 127 and Dan Skelton's 22% yard strike rate mean it retains genuine ability even if the drift is concerning — recent form 23114 shows it has been winning and could exploit any Jentobello underperformance at this trip.

At 4/7, Jentobello is priced to near-certainty, leaving almost no margin for error; Fine Thing at 11/8 represents a horse with a superior SR, a stronger trainer, and recent winning form (four runs sh…
