Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party

Pundit pick: Cephalus

Four runners share the same rating at the head of this wide-open Class 6 contest over eight furlongs on the Wolverhampton all-weather, which makes this a genuinely difficult puzzle to solve. Cephalus is our selection, narrowly ahead of the chasing pack on our figures, though Between Me And U, Connie Moon and Pearly Squirrel are rated identically and must all be respected as live threats. The hope is that Cephalus finds the extra edge needed on the night to separate himself from three dangerous rivals who have every right to be here on merit. **Cephalus** is our selection, but this is a race to approach with caution given the tight cluster at the top.
