Racing Post verdict

Third-party

Star Harbour heads our figures on 98, just a pound clear of Haku (97) and further ahead of Prince Of The Seas (93) and Spioradalta (92) in a well-matched field. That narrow but genuine rating edge makes Star Harbour our selection for this Class 3 contest over today's 12 furlongs. Haku and Prince Of The Seas look the most obvious dangers, with Spioradalta also capable of running into the frame, but Star Harbour gets the vote at moderate confidence.

Racing Post pick: Star Harbour
