Racing Post verdict
Third-partyMart holds a narrow edge over the nearest rivals on these figures, but this is a modest Class 6 sprint at Yarmouth where the form lines are compressed and little separates the top four. Papa Don't Preach, Antiphon and Dragon God all carry realistic chances of overturning that slender advantage on the day. With confidence tempered by the closeness of the ratings, Mart is the selection, though backers should be aware this is far from a straightforward heat. **Selection: Mart**
Racing Post pick: Mart
