Minhad shapes as the one to be on here despite sitting a shade below the top-rated Percy Shelley on our figures, with a progressive profile suggesting there is more to come from this gelding over a stamina-sapping sixteen furlongs at Newmarket. Percy Shelley is the obvious danger as the highest-rated runner in the field and cannot be dismissed, while Imperial Sovereign and High Fibre also make this a competitive enough Class 4 heat. The selection's upward curve, however, gives confidence that the bare ratings do not tell the full story. **Minhad** is our selection.
Racing Post pick: Minhad
