Racing Post verdict

Third-party

Assail is our selection, narrowly the best of this six on our figures with barely a couple of pounds in hand over Londoner. Tawajjah and Percival also make the frame as leading dangers, both within a handful of pounds of the pace, in a race that looks competitive on paper. Despite the tight margins, this is a high-conviction verdict for Assail, whose overall claims stand up strongly in this Class 4 heat over the ten furlongs.

Racing Post pick: Assail
