Racing Post verdict
Third-partyJagged Edge sits just 4 points below Vafortino on our ratings but is preferred on the strength of a progressive profile that suggests there is more to come, making the gap in raw numbers less telling than it appears on paper. Vafortino, Dorset and Dunum are the principal dangers — all three rate narrowly ahead and carry solid claims in a competitive 17-runner field over seven furlongs at Galway on good ground. The case for our selection rests on trajectory rather than current standing, with the expectation that a horse still moving through the gears can bridge that modest deficit. **Jagged Edge** is our selection.
