Top-half AI rating in the EW price sweet spot. Each-way splits stake: half on the win, half on the place portion.
Tough Enough is narrowly ahead of Torfrida on our figures once their progressive profile, fitness edge and the clock are factored in, and over six furlongs on Southwell's Fibresand that kind of momentum can prove decisive in a wide-open Class 6 heat. Torfrida, rated level on raw numbers, represents the most obvious threat, while Lesley's Boy and Ahead Of Fashion are both capable of making their presence felt from their respective marks. The selection is Tough Enough.
