Racing Post verdict

Third-party

San Aer heads this competitive 18-runner Galway seven-furlong field on good ground and sits narrowly ahead of the chasing pack, with Apache Outlaw the most credible threat alongside Mickey The Steel and Chester Nimitz in what shapes as a stern test for the selection. Apache Outlaw and Mickey The Steel will press hardest on their respective recent form, but San Aer's edge over each of them looks clear enough to matter on this ground and trip. **San Aer** is the selection.

Racing Post pick: San Aer
