Racing Post verdict

Third-party

Rizal heads the market on our ratings, having run to his mark on his stable debut and joining a trainer who is in form. The return to a longer straight after a break should suit, and his record over a range of trips and ground conditions makes him versatile. Stipulation is the main threat, with a run last time that may have been better than the result suggests, and Finlaggan — unexposed in British handicaps — cannot be dismissed. Rizal is our selection.
