Pundit pick: Aura Of MelaniaDiffers from our pick

Aura Of Melania heads this Catterick Class 6 sprint on a rating narrowly ahead of Harry's Pop and Eevee Star, who are both two pounds behind and represent the chief threats alongside Cheeky Chesca, a pound further back, so the form advantage is real if modest and the six-furlong trip on good ground suits. The selection's hold on the field is slender enough that a career-best from either Harry's Pop or Eevee Star could overturn it, and confidence is accordingly tempered. On balance the ratings edge, however slim, points the same way, and the selection is Aura Of Melania.

Today: Cheeky Chesca (draw 1) and Invicta Rose (draw 2) get the bias; Harry's Pop (draw 5) is in the least-favoured band.

IV = impact value: 1.00 is neutral, above it a stall band wins more often than its share of runners predicts. 150 qualifying races at this course and trip, 3-year window.
