Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Startling

Startling is our selection, rated 70 to lead this Class 6 5f contest at Ayr on good to firm, 7 lb clear of nearest-rated rival Henery Hawk on our figures. Wee Mary and Doon The Glen also feature among the leading dangers in a well-matched nine-runner field. Confidence in the selection is only low, reflecting how competitive this line-up looks on paper, but Startling's figures still make her the one to beat.
