Racing Post verdict

Third-party

Little Miss Magic heads this Class 6 five-furlong minimum on a rating of 60, the top figure in a competitive field of nine on good to firm. The picture is tight, though: Mademoiselle Belle sits just a pound behind on 59, with Reporter (58) and Dottie Diamond (57) both within three pounds too, leaving little to spare at the top. Little Miss Magic is our selection on the strength of that figure, but with three closely-matched dangers breathing down her neck, this is a low-confidence pick.
