Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Inappropriate

Inappropriate brings a progressive profile into this Class 5, a third last time out and two seconds among its last five starts, and it returns quickly here, just 19 days on from its latest run, having already proven effective over today's going. That blend of form and fitness earns the vote even though it is level on our figures with Simply Ruby — successful three starts back for an in-form yard, but back from a near ten-month absence — and Simple Star, runner-up last time out. Cascade Hall, with two wins in its last five starts and back only nine days after its latest outing, also warrants respect in a competitive-looking race. Our selection is Inappropriate, taken on profile and fitness in a race where the leading form is closely matched.
