Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Sansanetti

Sansanetti arrives here on a progressive profile that makes the narrow rating deficit to the top two look less daunting than it appears on paper, with the ten-furlong trip on Lingfield's all-weather surface suiting a horse still on the upgrade. Equion heads the ratings and cannot be dismissed, while Makes Me Wonder and Sceptic will also need to be accounted for in what shapes as a competitive if modest contest. The selection's upward trajectory, however, gives reason to believe there is more to come, and that untapped potential could prove decisive at this level. Sansanetti is the pick.
