Furlong's verdict

Reading the form…

AI-written, grounded in our data on this race. May be wrong. Verify before staking. Opinion, not advice.

Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party

Pundit pick: Annaf

Annaf is narrowly ahead of several rivals on our ratings yet sits two points behind the top-rated Hammer The Hammer, so the case here rests firmly on a progressive profile that suggests there may be more to come from this runner, who has handled six furlongs on good-to-soft ground before. Hammer The Hammer heads the field on figures and must be respected as the chief danger, while Golden Mind and Stratusnine, both close in the ratings, add to what is a fiercely competitive 20-runner heat. The confidence level is modest in a race of this depth, but the upward trajectory makes Annaf an appealing each-way proposition. The selection is Annaf.
