Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Night Mission
Night Mission is our selection, holding the highest figure in this six-furlong race, with a runner-up placing four starts back the standout of his recent form and today's trip already proven. A 49-day break since is the one query, and the gap back to several closely-matched rivals is only a handful of pounds, so this is far from clear-cut. Confidence is low, but Night Mission edges it on the figures.
