Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Egotistical
Egotistical heads this five-runner Class 5 sprint at Lingfield on the all-weather narrowly ahead of Tronido on our assessments, and she looks the one to beat over six furlongs on the Polytrack. Tronido and Veil Of Clouds represent the chief dangers, particularly if either finds improvement on their recent efforts, while the unrated Dark Brunette adds an element of the unknown. On balance, Egotistical's edge on our ratings makes her the most reliable proposition in a modest contest, and she is our selection.
