Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Battle Fever
Battle Fever heads this eight-runner Class 2 sprint at Hamilton a clear ten points ahead of Harley on our ratings, with the remainder of the field at a more notable distance, and on soft ground over six furlongs he looks well placed to confirm that superiority. Harley is the chief danger and will need to close that gap on the day, while Boutblummintime and Wild Terrain also merit respect if the conditions play to their strengths. Battle Fever is our selection.
