Racing Post verdict
Third-partyPost Rider heads our figures on 82 for this Class 5 contest over a stiff twelve furlongs, making her the pick ahead of a well strung-out field. Rose Cotton (81) is closest on our figures and the obvious threat, with Ghost Story (76) and Sound Janet (74) also capable of running into the frame. Confidence is medium: the top two are separated by just a single pound, but Post Rider edges it as our highest-rated runner.
