Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Wahdan
Wahdan is the pick for this Class 3 test over Chester's ten furlongs on good ground, taken ahead of the higher-rated King's Code on the strength of a progressive recent profile. King's Code remains the most obvious danger on the pure ratings, with Zgharta and Let's Dream both capable of running well on their own recent form. This is a tightly-bunched, competitive field and confidence in the selection is only low, but Wahdan's improving form makes the strongest case among a group with little to choose between them. Wahdan is the selection.
