Racing Post verdict

Third-party

Apollo One heads the field on our ratings and has the profile to justify that standing over this sharp five furlongs at Ascot on good-to-firm ground, though the margin over the chasing pack is narrow enough to keep confidence measured. Spartan Arrow, just a couple of pounds adrift, represents the most pressing threat and will need watching throughout, while Kendall Roy and Fandom are also closely matched and should not be underestimated in what shapes as a competitive Class 2 sprint. Apollo One's edge at the head of the ratings, however slender, gives him the nod. **Selection: Apollo One**

Racing Post pick: Apollo One
