Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Rory Rocket

Rory Rocket is our selection and sits clear at the top of our figures for this Class 6 sprint over 6 furlongs. He won last time out and also scored three starts back, form that fully justifies his position at the head of the field on assessment. Be An Angel, Calafrio and Snooker McCrew are the chief dangers, but with confidence high in the selection, he rates the one to beat.
