Racing Post verdict

Third-party

Nazario is the pick, only narrowly ahead of Expert Dancer (88) on a rating of 89 among these fifteen at Galway over seven furlongs on good ground. Dancing Saxon (86) also goes well on our figures, with Templenoe (82) another in the shake-up. Confidence in the selection is only medium, so it wouldn't take much for one of that leading trio to turn the form around.

Racing Post pick: Nazario
