Racing Post verdict
Third-partySahm Naif is preferred on a progressive profile, with back-to-back wins in his last two starts putting him right at home in this company even though Beauty Generation edges him by a pound on our figures. Beauty Generation, The Bureau Club and Takeitorleaveit are the three most obvious dangers in a tightly-bunched race, all within a few pounds of the selection. It's a moderate-confidence verdict in an open renewal, but the upward trajectory nudges it toward Sahm Naif.
