Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Evie Ross

Evie Ross heads this seven-runner Class 5 contest at Chepstow on a rating narrowly ahead of Espona Bay, with Von Trotter and Name The Day also meriting respect as the chief dangers in what looks a competitive enough heat over seven furlongs on good-to-firm ground. Espona Bay and Von Trotter in particular could make life difficult if Evie Ross fails to reproduce her best, and at low confidence this is no banker. That said, Evie Ross holds the strongest credentials on ratings and is the call here, with the selection being Evie Ross.
