Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: We Ride At Dawn
We Ride At Dawn is our selection in this seven-runner Class 5 event over ten furlongs at Sandown, preferred to the top of our figures on a progressive profile despite sitting six pounds behind Talitha Rouge, who tops our figures on 73. Huggable, on 72, and Pershalla, on 67, are also flagged among the key dangers. Confidence in the pick is only low, reflecting how tightly this field rates on our book.
