Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Jumby
Jumby is the confident selection in this Class 4 over today's seven furlongs on good to firm, rating 12 lb clear of the rest on our figures. That margin, allied to high selection confidence, makes the case emphatically. Miletus, I Still Have Faith and Warrior Mode are the chief dangers, all within a handful of pounds of one another, but Jumby's class edge should have the legs of that trio.
