Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Torbados

Torbados sits on top of the figures for this Class 6 event at Wolverhampton over today's 7f on standard ground, but only narrowly — three pounds is all that separates him from Pennine Way (64), the closest of the dangers. Captive Beauty (63) and Mister Moet (62) also cluster close behind on a tightly-matched book. Torbados is our selection, though with the field bunched together on these figures, confidence in the pick is low.
