Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Everyoneknowsadave
Everyoneknowsadave carries a progressive profile into this ten-furlong Class 4 at Ripon on good ground, and that upward trajectory is the compelling reason to side with him over the top-rated Mao Shang Wong, who sits narrowly ahead on ratings. His Finest Hour and Polygram represent the other principal dangers in a tight five-runner field where separating these rivals is no straightforward task. On the strength of his progression alone, **Everyoneknowsadave** is our selection.
