Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Adaay of Scarlett
Adaay of Scarlett heads this competitive Class 1 six-furlong York contest on good-to-soft ground, rated narrowly ahead of a trio of dangers in Mussab, Matteo, and Arapaho Gold, all of whom come into the race on 106 and will make this a genuine test. The selection needs to reproduce his best form to beat that well-matched cluster, but with the highest rating of the field on offer, his profile gives enough cause for optimism at this level. Mussab and Matteo in particular look the sharpest threats from the chasing group, while Arapaho Gold cannot be discounted either. Adaay of Scarlett is the selection.
