Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Le Rouge Chinois

Le Rouge Chinois holds a narrow edge on ratings over Tropical Talent and shapes as the most credible contender in a modest Class 6 contest over fourteen furlongs on the Southwell all-weather, though the overall level of form here is unspectacular and the advantage over the chasing pack is slender enough to warrant caution. Tropical Talent is the most obvious threat given a rating only two pounds adrift, while Sound Gloria and Edwardtheninth are not without claims at bigger deficits and could outrun their standing if conditions suit. Le Rouge Chinois is taken to do just enough to justify favouring here.
