Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Let's Go Hugo
Let's Go Hugo heads this nine-runner sprint at Wolverhampton on a rating narrowly ahead of the chasing pack, and on a fast five-furlong surface he has the profile to translate that modest edge into a winning performance. Rajeteriat, just a pound behind, represents the most pressing threat and cannot be dismissed lightly, while Jungle Dance and Megaphone both sit on 56 and will make this competitive throughout. The confidence is tempered slightly by the closeness of the ratings across the top four, but Let's Go Hugo holds the call and is taken to come out on top.
