Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Rose Of Honour

Rose Of Honour, rated a clear 95, is the selection for this competitive Class 3 sprint over six furlongs. She has a trio of rivals within a handful of pounds on our figures, making this no formality, but her overall level of form stands clear of a well-stacked eight-runner field. At medium confidence, Rose Of Honour gets the vote as the one to beat.
