Racing Post verdict

Third-party

Baby Basma tops our figures on 68, well clear of the official handicap marks across this field, having landed a win four starts back before working back into fourth three starts back. She's our selection on the strength of that improving profile. Heart Of Eternity, only 4 lb behind on our figures and freshened by a run just a day ago, is the most obvious danger, with Roman Harry and Hero Of The Hour both carrying notably faster recent speed figures than their official marks suggest. It's a deep field of fifteen, but Baby Basma's rounded profile gives her the edge, and our confidence in the selection is medium.

Racing Post pick: Baby Basma
