Racing Post verdict
Third-partyWait Geordie arrives here on a progressive profile that sets him apart from rivals rated narrowly ahead on paper, and a fitness edge could prove decisive over five furlongs on good-to-firm ground at Yarmouth. Beauty Box and Troublesome Guest head the dangers as the joint top-rated pair, while Dubai Charm cannot be entirely dismissed. The case for our selection rests on momentum and condition rather than the rating alone, though the narrow margins in this field mean the outcome is far from certain. **Wait Geordie** is the selection.
