Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Dowman

Dowman holds a narrow edge over Ard As A Rock on ratings and shaped with promise on recent runs that suggest this five-furlong trip at Chepstow should suit, making a reasonable case for connections here. Ard As A Rock is the most obvious threat and will need to be kept a close eye on, while Maximus Meridius and Sea Palace are grouped together just below and could make their presence felt if conditions play to their strengths. This is a competitive little Class 5 sprint and the confidence is limited, but the ratings edge, however slim, points in one direction. Dowman is the selection.
