Racing Post verdict
Third-partySallaal heads this small but quality field on a rating of 121, a pound clear of Convergent and well above the remaining pair, and his form over this ten-furlong trip on good ground gives him a solid platform to confirm superiority. Convergent is the obvious threat, sitting just a pound behind and not one to dismiss lightly, while Nahraan could outrun his rating if the pace suits. **Sallaal** is our selection.
