Racing Post verdict
Third-partyTiger heads this Class 5 over 10 furlongs at Epsom on figures, rated 80 and clear of the rest of this five-runner field. Booziebrunch (77), Perfect Scoundrel (76) and Show Biz Kid (69) make up the danger list, with Booziebrunch and Perfect Scoundrel the closest on rating, while Hello Cotai (66) is more of an also-ran on these figures. Tiger is our selection on the strength of his rating advantage, with the tight gap to those three dangers keeping confidence at medium rather than high.
