Racing Post verdict
Third-partyRahmi is clear on our figures at 104, a sizeable jump on the rest of this Fairyhouse seven, and rates the one to beat. Tolebi, Exquisite Acclaim and Bishopton represent the chief dangers, tightly bunched a few pounds behind, but none matches that rating edge. With selection confidence high, Rahmi is our pick to prove best of this field.
