Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Fairydale
In this Class 6 twelve-furlong contest at Catterick on good to firm, Fairydale is our selection, sitting clear at the top of our figures on 65, a full 10 lb ahead of the chasing pack. Project Kinsman and Steel Fixer are tied on 55 with Riddikulus close behind on 54, and that trio represent the main dangers in a seven-runner field. The gap in the figures gives Fairydale clear claims on merit, making her our pick at medium confidence.
