Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party

Pundit pick: Langholm

Langholm is the pick ahead of rivals rated higher on paper, preferred here for a progressive profile in this Class 6 eight-furlong race at Thirsk over a field of thirteen. He has a win among his recent starts and returns quickly for another crack, suggesting he remains on an upward curve. Can I Kiss You, Trucial Pearl and Copper And Five all loom as the chief dangers on figures, and with confidence in the selection only low, this looks a wide-open race. Langholm is our selection.
