Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Tarlac

Tarlac is our selection at Hamilton over today's 6f, heading a tightly-bunched race on our figures with the best speed figure of the leading trio. He already has today's trip covered and rounded off his recent form with an improved fourth last time out. Rain Cap, Lady Bouquet and Doon The Glen all cluster close behind on our figures and represent the main dangers, with little between the principals in a race that could easily throw up a surprise. Confidence is moderate given how tightly matched this weak contest looks.
