Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Classy Clarets

Classy Clarets is our selection at Hamilton, rated clear of this well-filled field on our figures and quick back into action just two days on from his latest run. Henery Hawk, Fear And Fast and Wee Mary head the chasing pack and all carry solid claims of their own, with Fear And Fast in particular open to further progress. Great Profit, Realistic Dream, Sixcor and You Mystify Me make up the numbers rather than the leading order. With medium confidence, Classy Clarets holds a clear edge and gets the vote in this competitive eight-runner heat.
