Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Distinct Spirit
Distinct Spirit holds a narrow edge on our ratings over Wetsand and a more meaningful advantage over Allegrino, and on this good-to-firm Lingfield surface over eight furlongs she has the profile to make that superiority count. Wetsand represents the chief danger and will need to be watched throughout, while Allegrino could outrun expectations if the pace suits. With confidence modest in a small field where small margins can be overturned on the day, the selection nonetheless is **Distinct Spirit**.
