Racing Post verdict

Third-party

Leucothea heads this seven-runner Nottingham sprint on the strength of her rating, though she holds only a narrow edge over Fern Clyde and a three-pound advantage over Boleto, making this a genuinely competitive Class 5 contest over six furlongs on good-to-firm ground. Fern Clyde represents the most immediate threat and will need watching closely, while Boleto and Star People are capable of making their presence felt if the principals underperform. The selection's slight edge at the head of the ratings gives her a slender claim, though this is a race that could go several ways. **Leucothea** is our selection.

Racing Post pick: Leucothea
