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: Foscarini

Foscarini showed enough on debut over the shorter trip to suggest there is considerably more to come, and a switch to 7f on a sound surface looks a much more suitable assignment. Shemiyla Star showed plenty of quality when narrowly denied on his only start and is the main danger, while Bullrider is a debut runner to consider seriously for a strong yard and Wise And Wonderful has shown clear progression on her latest outing. Foscarini is our selection.
