Racing Post verdict
Third-partyDuckadilly heads a competitive six-runner field on our figures for this Class 1 over today's seven furlongs on good to firm, four pounds clear of Chantez in second. Bella Isabella sits a further five pounds back in third, with Phenomenal Filly and Fingerpaint tied on rating just behind her and Nancy J trailing the group. Chantez, Bella Isabella and Phenomenal Filly represent the biggest dangers to the form pick given how well they compare on our figures, but Duckadilly's clear rating advantage makes her the one to beat. We're siding with Duckadilly with real confidence.
