Racing Post verdict
Third-partyStar Prospect stands head and shoulders above this twelve-runner field on ratings, holding a 26-point advantage over South Dakota at the head of the dangers, and the form book gives every reason to take that gap seriously over six furlongs at Naas. South Dakota, Alpe d'Huez, and Livenka will represent the sternest opposition, yet none looks capable of bridging that gulf if Star Prospect reproduces anything close to his best. With confidence high, **Star Prospect** is the clear selection.
