Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: March Ahead

March Ahead holds a narrowly lower rating than the top three in this fourteen-runner Class 5 sprint at Newcastle, but it is the progressive profile that draws us to this one over rivals who may be closer to their ceiling. Believeinmenow heads the ratings and cannot be dismissed, while Showtown and Comprador sit a couple of pounds behind and represent the chief dangers in what looks a genuinely competitive heat over six furlongs on the all-weather. With confidence acknowledged as modest, the case rests on March Ahead continuing an upward curve that the others may not be able to match. March Ahead is the selection.
