In-running (Classy Clarets (IRE))

handy in the early stages - hit the front soon after the start - travelled eagerly and dictated a fast gallop - asked for effort approaching the final furlong - shaken up to open a commanding advantage - came home full of running and was untroubled close home

Racing Post verdict

Third-party

Jenni, our selection, is the highest-rated runner here on 70, with both today's trip and the good-to-firm ground already proven for her. Her recent finishing positions have been modest, but on our reading of the contest she retains more physical scope than those results suggest, and that edge in the figures makes her the one to beat. Groundsman (69) is the closest on paper and adds first-time cheekpieces for extra sharpness, Saisons d'Or (68) won three starts back and remains competitive without quite recapturing that form since, and Classy Clarets (65) arrives fresh from winning last time out for a yard currently among the more in-form. It's a competitive race and confidence is only medium, but Jenni's rating edge is enough to make her the selection.

Racing Post pick: Jenni
