Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Alfred Wallace

Alfred Wallace heads the field on ratings, narrowly ahead of the well-regarded Mia Fantasia, and on good ground over seven furlongs at Sandown there is a reasonable case that his form holds up at this level. The chief dangers come from Mia Fantasia, who is only a pound behind and cannot be dismissed, while Green Sovereign and Firehorse add further depth to the opposition and make this a genuinely competitive Class 1 affair. Confidence is not high given how closely matched the principals appear, but on balance Alfred Wallace represents the call here.

Today: Sonic Angel (draw 1) and Green Sovereign (draw 2) get the bias; Sergei Diaghilev (draw 6) is in the least-favoured band.

IV = impact value: 1.00 is neutral, above it a stall band wins more often than its share of runners predicts. 115 qualifying races at this course and trip, 3-year window.
