Racing Post verdict

Third-party

Royal Champion heads our figures on 121 for this Class 1 ten-furlong test at York, with Damysus and Dancing Gemini both rated 120 and splitting the pair by the narrowest of margins. We prefer Roger Teal's Dancing Gemini, whose blend of fitness and a progressive profile edges him ahead of the pack, even though the figures alone favour Royal Champion and Damysus. K. R. Burke's Royal Champion and John & Thady Gosden's Damysus both loom as the chief dangers on rating alone, with Ralph Beckett's Pride Of Arras also capable of running into the frame. Confidence in the selection is low given how close this trio is rated, but Dancing Gemini gets our vote.

Racing Post pick: Dancing Gemini
