Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Sandy Craic
Sandy Craic is our selection, topping the ratings in this five-runner Class 5 at Thirsk on a rating of 78. Lady Britain (73), Hatamoto (69) and Scheffler (68) are the chief dangers but all are rated behind the selection. Sandy Craic's rating edge gives her the strongest claim, though with the field fairly tightly matched our confidence is only medium.
