Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Obito

Obito heads our figures for this Class 4 over ten furlongs at Doncaster, rated clear of Intrusively and Suddenly I See, and gets the vote as our selection with medium confidence. Intrusively is the most dangerous of the chasing pack on our figures, with Suddenly I See and Room Fourteen also strong enough on our numbers to feature. Domination, Island Bear, Brighton View and Big Eagle make up the rest of an eight-strong field, but the principals at the top of the weights look to hold the key across this trip on good to firm ground.
