Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Runamara

Runamara heads this Class 6 sprint on ratings, sitting narrowly ahead of Havin A Flyer and with a more meaningful edge over the remainder of the field. She has the profile to handle Wolverhampton's all-weather five furlongs and the ratings suggest she holds a clear advantage over the bottom half of the draw. Havin A Flyer and A Lott Of Kane are the most likely threats, while Sands Of Seve shouldn't be entirely dismissed if there is any give in the pace. **Runamara** is our selection.
