Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Wolf's Gallop

Wolf's Gallop heads this nine-runner sprint at Lingfield on the all-weather on the back of a performance rating that sits four pounds clear of Miss Moneypit and six ahead of South West, giving him a meaningful edge at the top of the field. Miss Moneypit and South West are the most likely threats, with Sultan Darius also capable of making his presence felt over this sharp five furlongs on the standard surface. The main concern is that medium confidence suggests the race is not entirely straightforward, and the danger runners will be keen to close that gap down on a track that can throw up surprises. Wolf's Gallop is the selection.
