Pundit pick: The Third Star

The Third Star heads this nine-runner Class 4 contest at Southwell on the all-weather over a mile narrowly ahead of Chantelle and Enola Grey on our ratings, and the form behind that pair suggests the gap in class is a meaningful one at this level. Chantelle and Enola Grey will pose the most credible threats, with Great Mates also worth keeping onside for the places, but none of them look likely to have the edge on the figures when the race is run on a sound surface over this trip. The Third Star is our selection.
