Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: My Friend Sean

My Friend Sean heads this Market Rasen staying contest narrowly ahead of Dog Fox on form ratings, and his profile over this sort of trip suggests the extra emphasis on stamina at seventeen furlongs plays squarely into his hands. Dog Fox is the most obvious threat and rates only a couple of pounds below our selection, while Belle Le Grand and Gower Prince are also respected at identical figures and cannot be dismissed in what looks a genuinely competitive Class 4 heat. That said, My Friend Sean's edge in the ratings, combined with conditions that should suit, makes a compelling case for him to come out on top. My Friend Sean is the selection.
