Racing Post verdict
Third-partyFigjam rates level with Havana Hurricane at the head of this twelve-runner Class 2 sprint, and the progressive profile that edges our selection ahead in the reasoning is the crucial factor on good-to-firm ground at Ascot over six furlongs. Havana Hurricane represents the most obvious danger, sharing that same rating and likely to be competitive throughout, while Jel Pepper and May Angel are only a few pounds adrift and must not be underestimated in a competitive field. The confidence here is measured rather than absolute, but Figjam's upward trajectory gives reason to believe there may be more to come. **Selection: Figjam.**
