Pundit pick: Harry Brown

Harry Brown may sit a couple of pounds behind Recon Mission in the ratings, but his progressive profile makes him the more compelling proposition over this five-furlong Lingfield Polytrack trip, suggesting there is more to come from him than the bare figures currently reflect. Recon Mission heads the field on ratings and must be respected as the principal threat, while Stapleford Park and Coolagh Magic are capable of troubling the principals if producing their best. On the basis of an upward trajectory that looks far from spent, Harry Brown is the selection.
