Racing Post verdict
Third-partyJer Batt heads this five-runner sprint at Musselburgh rated narrowly ahead of the pair immediately beneath him, Mighty Magnus and Francisco's Piece, who both carry identical figures and represent the most pressing dangers alongside Montezuma. The five-furlong good ground conditions look straightforward enough, but the closeness of the form at the top of the ratings means little separates the leading trio on merit. On balance, **Jer Batt** gets the nod, though punters should be aware this is a tight call.
