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: Quebella

Quebella enters this Bath mile and a half contest narrowly ahead of the field on ratings, and she is rated 97 on our figures, giving her the highest rating of these. Spirit Of Jura and Pierian represent the most credible threats and will need to improve to bridge the gap, while Mythical Bird cannot be entirely dismissed if conditions play to her strengths. The selection does not hold an enormous advantage and connections will be hoping for a clean passage around Bath, but on balance the form reading points in one direction. Quebella is the selection.
