Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Mayaada
Mayaada is our selection, preferred to the higher-rated Gloryous for a more progressive profile in this Class 4 over 10 furlongs. She was runner-up last time out and has been frequently to the fore through her recent starts, form that should hold up well against this six-runner field on good to firm. Gloryous, Oh Yes You Do and Pomme Pomme all pose the main threats, and with confidence in the selection low, this looks a competitive heat.
