Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Rye
Rye heads our figures on 65 in this Leicester six-furlong contest, just a pound clear of Calafrio (64), and is our selection on that basis. Melissa Honey (61) and Last Outlaw (60) also feature among the chief dangers. With the whole field closely bunched on our figures, confidence in this verdict sits at medium. Rye is our pick to prove best of a competitive bunch.
