Furlong's verdict

Reading the form…

AI-written, grounded in our data on this race. May be wrong. Verify before staking. Opinion, not advice.

Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Foinix

Foinix heads this modest Brighton staying contest on a rating three points clear of Gearing's Point, and the form behind that gap looks solid enough to take seriously over twelve furlongs on good-to-firm ground. Gearing's Point represents the most obvious threat, with Dream Of Ithaca and Dogged also capable of making things interesting if Foinix fails to fire. **Foinix** is the selection.
