Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Lucy The Wire
Lucy The Wire and Basilette share the same figure at the top of this Class 5, with almost nothing between them on our book. Roarin' Success and Dusky Spyglass both have claims of their own, but neither matches the leading pair for figure. With confidence only low given how tight the form lines are, Lucy The Wire is our selection, with Basilette the obvious danger.
