Racing Post verdict
Third-partyThis four-runner Class 1 sprint over six furlongs at Newmarket (July) is headed on our figures by Adaay of Scarlett, rated 104 and a single point clear of Hickory Lad. Both sit well clear of Persian Spring and Inner City Blues, so the race looks a match between the pair at the top of the weights. Hickory Lad is the obvious danger given how tight the gap is between them, while Persian Spring and Inner City Blues make up the numbers on this evidence. We side with Adaay of Scarlett as our selection, though only with medium confidence given how close this looks at the top.
