Racing Post verdict
Third-partyGolden West is our selection for this Class 4 12-furlong contest at York on good-to-firm, preferred to the top-rated pair on a progressive profile, a fitness edge and a speed figure that backs up the form even though he sits third on the ratings alone. Nightsinwhitesatin and High Fibre share top billing on our figures and remain the chief dangers alongside Humble Spark, all closely matched in a race that reads competitive from top to bottom. Confidence in the selection is low given how tight the picture is, but the case for Golden West rests on the direction of travel rather than the raw figure.
