Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: London Is Blue

London Is Blue holds a narrow edge at the head of the ratings over the closely matched Stock Market, making this a tight affair on paper at Lingfield's five-furlong all-weather trip, but there is enough here to side with our selection with confidence. Stock Market represents the most obvious danger, rated level and likely to push London Is Blue all the way to the line, while Wyle Cop is only a pound adrift and should not be underestimated in a compact field of four. Enter Sandman, three pounds off the pace, may find the task marginally steeper but will not be without a say in a race where every runner is live. London Is Blue is our selection.
