Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Hierarchy

Hierarchy shares the top figure of 82 with the sprint field's other leading fancy but gets the verdict as our selection on the balance of the form. Fifty Nifty matches that figure exactly, while Veydari (81) and Monsieur Kodi (79) are also feasibly involved, making this a genuinely competitive heat to separate at the top. Confidence is only medium given how tight it is, but Hierarchy edges it as our pick in this Class 5 sprint.
