Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Night In Vegas

Night In Vegas looks the one to be on in this 15-runner seven-furlong contest at Newmarket, topping our ratings on 100 and sitting a substantial seven pounds clear of his nearest pursuer, A Bear Affair on 93. That gap is the foundation of the case, and the good to firm ground should present no obvious obstacle to him. A Bear Affair is the chief danger, with Jumeirah Storm on 88 and Zigazig Ah on 85 the other two to keep onside, though both have plenty to find on our figures. In a big field there is always some trouble in running to fear, but Night In Vegas is the strongest on merit and is our selection.
