Racing Post verdict
Third-partyNuit d'Eclair heads the field on ratings, sitting three pounds clear of our selection, but Harlequin Sky's progressive profile makes a compelling case for preferring her on this good-to-firm Newmarket surface over seven furlongs. She has been climbing the ranks with each run and looks the type to continue improving into a Class 1 contest of this nature. Nuit d'Eclair and the unexposed Graceful Song represent the chief dangers, while China In Your Hand cannot be entirely dismissed. **Harlequin Sky** is our selection.
Racing Post pick: Harlequin Sky
