Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Shahik

Shahik is the clear form pick in this Class 5 contest over today's trip, rated 79 and a comfortable margin clear of the field on our figures. Thornaby Annie, The Sweet Escape and Solar Cooper make up the chasing pack and represent the biggest dangers, all within a workable range on our ratings. That clear advantage in the figures makes Shahik our selection, albeit at medium confidence given how tightly grouped the rest of this field is.
