Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Harb
Harb lines up narrowly ahead of this Class 6 field on ratings and looks the one to beat over five furlongs on the Newcastle Polytrack, where the surface should suit a horse with his profile. Speeding Bullet is the most obvious threat and cannot be dismissed lightly, while Muker and Khabib also merit respect as the next best-rated runners in the field. The selection's edge over those dangers is modest but consistent across the ratings, and at this level that kind of advantage tends to translate. Harb is our selection.
