Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Wicksey
Wicksey holds a narrow edge over Vietnorm on our figures, with the pair clear of the rest of the rated field on this evidence, and the step up to seventeen furlongs at Cartmel looks within range given what we know of the selection's profile. Vietnorm represents the most obvious threat and should not be taken lightly, while Jambearee and the three unrated runners could complicate matters if any of them are ahead of expectations. The confidence here is modest, but on balance the ratings favour our selection, and Wicksey is the call.
