Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Right And Exact
Right And Exact is the pick for this Chester Class 4 sprint over five furlongs, holding the highest rating in a field of twelve. He is only narrowly ahead of Al Hussar, with Master Of My Fate and Copper Knight both within a couple of pounds too, so this looks a tightly-matched renewal on figures. Confidence is moderate given how close the principals are rated, but on balance Right And Exact edges it and is our selection.
