Racing Post verdict
Third-partyThree Non Blondes is a confident selection on a rating of 88, backed by two wins from her last five starts and a solid placed effort last time out. Flight Control, Aqua Bear and Toastmaster all cluster closely behind on our figures and cannot be ruled out, with Toastmaster's big form gap to his official mark the one to note. High confidence reflects the clear standing of the selection at the head of these ratings, and Three Non Blondes is the one to side with.
