Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Sir Yoshi
Sir Yoshi is our selection, clear at the top of our figures in this Class 3 sprint despite a quieter recent sequence on bare results. The chief dangers are the trio closest to him on our figures, each boasting sharper recent form of their own. Confidence in the pick is low, reflecting how tightly this seven-runner field is bunched together. On balance, the figures make him the one to beat.
