Racing Post verdict

Third-party

Harana heads our figures on 86, only 1 lb clear of Frank Pickle, and having won two starts back before two more competitive efforts, she's our selection to follow up. Frank Pickle, also a winner last time out, is the most obvious danger, while Ocean Manifest and Hambelton both arrive with recent wins of their own and sit within 3 lb of the leader. It's a competitive renewal, but Harana's rounded profile gives her the nod, and our confidence in the selection is medium.

Racing Post pick: Harana
