Racing Post verdict
Third-partyCharlie Mason heads our figures on 89, with Expert Agent and Arduis Invicta only a pound or two behind on 88 apiece, so the front of the field is tightly bunched on our book. We go instead for Born Slippy, preferred on its progressive profile even though it sits narrowly behind that trio on 86. Charlie Mason, Expert Agent and Arduis Invicta are the chief dangers, and with the front so close together this is a lower-confidence pick. Born Slippy is our selection in this Class 4 sprint.
Racing Post pick: Born Slippy
