Racing Post verdict
Third-partyJakajaro is our selection ahead of top-rated Havana Anna, preferred for his more progressive profile despite sitting only third on the figures at 115. Havana Anna is narrowly ahead on the ratings and heads the danger list alongside Bucanero Fuerte, who matches Jakajaro's figure exactly, and Rosy Affair. It's a tightly-bunched sprint with the front three separated by just a pound, so this is a swing call, but Jakajaro's profile edges it for us.
Racing Post pick: Jakajaro
