RACING POST VERDICT

Unauthorized shares the top rating of 84 with Mister Adam, and we side with him over that rival on his progressive profile, which should count for plenty in a testing 12 furlongs on heavy ground at Galway. The margins are fine in an 11-runner field, with Mister Adam level on 84 and Ballybawn Belter and Glenroyal only two pounds back on 82, so the danger comes from several directions. Ben Hur is also on 82 and Slurricane not far behind on 80, which keeps this competitive and means confidence is low. Even so, the improving Unauthorized is the one we want on side, and he is our selection.
