Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: No Return

No Return holds a clear edge in the ratings over the rest of this modest five-runner Class 6 sprint at Lingfield, sitting narrowly ahead of Fletcher's Flight and Mart, with Elvetham only a pound further back, meaning the race is more compressed than the headline figure suggests. Fletcher's Flight and Mart are the most likely threats given their proximity in the assessments, while Elvetham cannot be entirely dismissed on similar terms. The low confidence here reflects how tight the form lines are and how little separates the principals on any given day over this quick five furlongs on the all-weather. No Return is nonetheless the pick on best figures and gets the vote.
