Racing Post verdict

Third-party

All three are unraced, but Acting Lady makes the most compelling case on breeding and trainer angle — her handler regularly gives his better two-year-old fillies their first start here, and she is a half-sister to a useful course winner from a sharp family. War Banner represents leading connections and is strongly bred out of a smart juvenile, making her a genuine threat; Sexy Chick has an in-form trainer behind her and should not be overlooked. Acting Lady is our selection.
