Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Balon d'Or

Horace Wallace heads the field on ratings but Balon d'Or, our selection, is preferred on the strength of a progressive profile that suggests there is more to come, and at a Class 6 level over six furlongs at Lingfield's all-weather track the gap to the top-rated is narrow enough that improvement can bridge it. Sarafina Mshairi shares the same rating as Balon d'Or and must be respected alongside Horace Wallace and Bessie Wallis, who all hold genuine claims in what looks a competitive heat at this level. The verdict is taken on trust that the upward trajectory continues, though this is a race where confidence is tempered and any one of three or four runners could justifiably come out on top. Balon d'Or is the selection.
