Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Betsen

Betsen heads this competitive five-furlong Sandown Class 4 on ratings, sitting narrowly ahead of Rosario and a clear five pounds above the third-ranked Zoulu Chief, though the closeness of the form at the top of the field leaves this looking a difficult puzzle to solve with confidence. Rosario represents the most obvious threat given the slim gap between the pair, while Zoulu Chief and Hypnotised are not without claims if either runs up to their best on the good ground. The verdict is given to Betsen on the strength of that ratings edge, even if this is far from a straightforward race.
