Pundit pick: Wolf of Badenoch

Wolf of Badenoch heads our ratings for this Class 6 contest over 11f at Carlisle on good going, rated 70 to Fleur de Mer's 68 in a seven-runner field. Ottoman and Is She Now complete the group of leading dangers, keeping the form tightly packed towards the head of the field. Confidence is only moderate given how closely matched the principals are on figures, but the rating edge is enough to make Wolf of Badenoch our selection, with Fleur de Mer his biggest danger.
