RACING POST VERDICT

Cool Azul heads the ratings for this six-furlong Navan contest on good-to-firm ground and is narrowly ahead of the closest pursuers, which is enough to give genuine confidence in a competitive 14-runner field. Flaming Rib sits just a pound behind and must be respected as the most immediate threat, while By The Lake and Amiata share the next level of the assessments and cannot be dismissed on their merits. The conditions suit Cool Azul, and with a clear edge over the bulk of the field, the case for following our selection here is a strong one. Cool Azul is the pick.

Cool Azul
Our Expert Tip

GOTTA CATCH\’EM ALL is the one I like at a price here. He has already won at Navan and he is coming back quickly, only five days after his last run. There is only one obvious front-runner in the race as well, so if he can get himself into a handy position without doing too much, he could be dangerous. 10/1 looks worth a go.

VERDICT: GOTTA CATCH\’EM ALL 10/1
