Racing Post verdict
Third-partyEabha heads this seven-furlong Newmarket contest narrowly ahead of her rivals on our figures, with Betty Boop and Mysterious Times the most likely to bridge that modest gap. Rhodes Runner also merits respect on similar figures to Mysterious Times, making this a genuinely competitive Class 4 affair on good-to-firm ground. Confidence is limited, but Eabha's edge at the head of the ratings gives her a slim call. **Selection: Eabha.**
