Racing Post verdict

Third-party

Confucius was beaten less than two lengths in a Group 2 at Ascot by a stablemate — a performance that sets the form standard — and handles both soft and fast ground at 5-6f with the leading combination behind him. Immortal Guard made up ground purposefully to be third in a Group 3 here last time and is the main danger, with Ballinea Star also holding a chance after her willing recent success at Cork. Confucius is our selection.
