Racing Post verdict
Third-partyCosmos Raj holds a narrow rating edge over our selection, but Mariner's progressive profile is the compelling reason to side with him here over ten furlongs at Doncaster on good-to-firm ground. Super Hit matches Mariner on ratings and cannot be dismissed, while Cosmos Raj and the lightly-regarded Magic Runner will also demand respect from the main protagonists. On the basis of his upward trajectory suggesting there is more to come, **Mariner** is the selection.
