Racing Post verdict
Third-partyStraight A heads this Nottingham mile on a rating narrowly ahead of Theme Park, and the form behind that pair looks comfortably held on these figures. Theme Park and Symphony Of Joy represent the most credible threats, though both face a step up in class to match Straight A's level. Given the low confidence here, one eye should be kept on the dangers, but on merit the selection commands respect. **Straight A** is our selection.
Racing Post pick: Straight A
