Racing Post verdict
Third-partyCroupier heads this competitive 16-runner Class 3 contest at Thirsk on a rating a point clear of Yorkshire, and there is enough in his profile to make a case for him at seven furlongs on good ground. Yorkshire represents the most pressing threat as the runner narrowly behind on ratings, while Angel Hunter and Asuka cannot be overlooked in a wide-open field of this size. Croupier is our selection, though the closeness of the contest warrants caution.
