Racing Post verdict
Third-partyPellitory enters this Haydock seven-furlong Class 3 narrowly ahead of Crimson Spirit on our ratings and has the profile to justify that edge, heading the field on our figures. Crimson Spirit and Yanifer will make this competitive and Christian David merits respect at the lower end of the danger list, but none looks capable of overturning the advantage Pellitory holds on the evidence available. **Pellitory** is our selection.
