Pundit corner

Pundit pick: Gold Digger

Gold Digger holds a clear edge at the head of our ratings in a wide and competitive field, and the case for her is compelling: her best form has always pointed to the minimum trip, moving powerfully through her races as a juvenile but failing to sustain it beyond six furlongs, and a winning seasonal return should have her primed for this handicap debut over the minimum trip. The draw bias identified across this meeting has favoured the stands'-rail side over the far side, which is worth bearing in mind given where several market rivals are housed. Comical Point, Calico Blue — trained by a yard in strong current form — and the trip-dropping May Angel are the chief dangers in what is a genuinely open sprint. **Gold Digger** is our selection.
