Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Holly Mist

Holly Mist heads this nine-runner Class 6 contest at Newcastle on the all-weather narrowly ahead of Travis and a clear step above Finn Ironside, giving her a case on form ratings alone. Travis and Finn Ironside will push her hardest, with Rory's Gold also worth a watching brief if conditions suit. Confidence is modest in a competitive lower-tier heat, but the ratings edge is real. **Holly Mist** is our selection.
