Racing Post verdict
Third-partyYellow Diamonds is our selection in this wide-open nine-runner Class 5 sprint at Thirsk, preferred for her progressive profile despite sitting just outside the very top of the ratings. Straight Ahead, Empress Olivia and Angel Numbers are all rated marginally higher and form the chief dangers in a race with little between the leading contenders. Given how tightly matched this field is on our figures, confidence in the selection is low, but Yellow Diamonds' profile gives her claims of her own.
Racing Post pick: Yellow Diamonds
