Racing Post verdict
Third-partyThe Good Biscuit sits just a pound behind top-rated Aberama Gold but is preferred here on the strength of a progressive profile that suggests there is more to come. Aberama Gold, Alfa Whiteburd and Mae Amor all hold realistic claims and make this a genuinely competitive small-field sprint on good-to-firm ground at Pontefract. The selection is taken to edge it, though the closeness of these ratings means any of the leading quartet could easily fill the spot. **The Good Biscuit** is our selection.
