Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Staniel Cay
Staniel Cay sits just a pound behind the top-rated Miss Brazen but is preferred here on the strength of a progressive profile that suggests there is more to come, making her an appealing proposition over this sharp five furlongs at Catterick on good ground. Miss Brazen cannot be dismissed lightly at the head of the ratings, while Tees Aggregates and Beaumadier, both rated alongside each other a pound in arrears of the top-rated, will make this competitive in an open-looking Class 5 heat. The selection's upward trajectory gives the edge in what promises to be a tight finish, and Staniel Cay is the call.
