Furlong's verdict

Reading the form…

AI-written, grounded in our data on this race. May be wrong. Verify before staking. Opinion, not advice.

Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Furturra

Furturra brings the clearest form, having landed his last start in decisive fashion, but a penalty now sees him concede weight to every rival, which gives others an opening; Casino Star shaped with real promise on debut, finishing second with more running left in him, and that form has since received a significant boost — he looks the one most likely to progress here. Cagney, a well-regarded newcomer from a trainer with a fine record running good juveniles at this venue, and Sue's Last Chance, with course experience behind him, complete the dangers. Casino Star is our selection.
