Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Yes I'm Mali
Yes I'm Mali heads this ten-runner Class 4 sprint at Ripon on soft ground narrowly ahead of Kind Touch and Charlie Mason, both of whom represent the chief dangers alongside Arduis Invicta, and he will need to be on his mettle to hold them at bay over the six furlongs. Kind Touch and Charlie Mason are only three pounds behind on ratings and cannot be dismissed lightly, while Arduis Invicta lurks just a pound further back and will appreciate conditions. That said, Yes I'm Mali's rating edge, however slender, reflects a horse with the class to manage this field, and on soft ground at Ripon the selection is the one to be with.
