Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Havana Jag
Havana Jag is the selection, preferred to the higher-rated One For Harvey on a progressive profile, a fitness edge, and a faster clock figure that backs up the recent form. Havana Jag sits fourth of these on our figures at 60, a few pounds behind One For Harvey's 64, but the case holds up on grounds beyond the rating alone. Ballsgrove Boy and Blindfold Games, also on 60, join One For Harvey as the leading dangers in a tightly bunched Class 6 sprint. Confidence in the selection is low given how close this field rates on our figures.
