Racing Post verdict
Third-partyOh So Perfect sits just a pound behind the top-rated Redredrobin on these figures, but a progressive profile suggests there is more to come and that the official ratings picture may not yet reflect her current ability. Redredrobin, Musical Soldier and Midnight's Dream all hold realistic claims and make this a competitive little contest at the bottom end of the scale. Confidence is modest, but the upward trajectory is the deciding factor. **Oh So Perfect** is the selection.
