Racing Post verdict
Third-partyStoic Poet rates 3 lb below the top-rated Ubetterseethis on our figures, but a progressive profile makes a compelling case that the gap is closing and that the official ratings have yet to catch up with where this horse truly is. Ubetterseethis, Highfield Viking and Black Storm all carry superior ratings and cannot be dismissed lightly on a competitive seven-furlong card at Ayr. If Stoic Poet continues the upward curve shown in recent starts, however, there is every reason to believe this class of assignment is well within reach. **Stoic Poet** is our selection.
Racing Post pick: Stoic Poet
