Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Dalamara
Dalamara is narrowly behind the top-rated Parole Officer on our ratings but is preferred on the strength of a progressive profile that suggests further improvement is forthcoming over this ten-furlong trip on the Newcastle all-weather, and that upward trajectory is the decisive factor in putting her ahead of a runner who holds a one-pound edge on figures alone. Parole Officer remains the most obvious threat and cannot be dismissed, while Rugby Union and Gifts Differing are also capable of making their presence felt if either steps forward from recent outings. Confidence is modest given the competitiveness of the field, but the case for an improving performer in a Class 6 contest is a sound one, and Dalamara is our selection.
