Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Baby Basma

Baby Basma is our selection, narrowly the best of this field on figures and boosted by a win three starts back, even with a 79-day gap back to competitive fitness. Dialin For Dollars represents the biggest threat on pure figures, while Zheleznaya Dama and Jampa Ling both have the class to feature if bouncing back to form. Confidence is low in a wide-open 15-runner sprint.
