Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Raintown

Raintown heads this Newbury Class 5 contest over ten furlongs on good-to-firm ground narrowly ahead of Grey Fox on ratings, and the form behind that pair suggests the selection has the edge over the rest of the field. Grey Fox represents the most obvious threat, with We Ride At Dawn and Decalogue also requiring respect in what looks a clearly tiered small field, though neither has the profile to unsettle the principals on current evidence. The going should pose no issue and the trip looks ideal for a horse of Raintown's standing. Raintown is the selection.
