Racing Post verdict

Third-party

Halimede sits three pounds behind the top-rated Darkest Red on our figures, but it is a progressive profile that tips the balance in her favour over this 13-furlong Lingfield trip, suggesting there is more to come. Darkest Red represents the most significant threat at the head of the ratings, with V Power and Shopaholic also capable of making their presence felt in what looks a competitive heat at this level. The low confidence reflects how closely matched this field is, and any one of those three dangers could overturn the verdict on the day. **Halimede** is our selection.

Racing Post pick: Halimede
