Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Figjam
Figjam heads this six-runner Class 3 contest at Thirsk on a rating narrowly ahead of Oolong Poobong, and the strength of that figure over seven furlongs gives him a credible case on good-to-soft ground, though the closeness of the field and low confidence in the assessment mean this is far from a certainty. Oolong Poobong and Perfect Part both represent genuine threats and will need watching throughout, while Cotai Belle cannot be entirely dismissed either. That said, on the ratings Figjam holds the edge and is trusted to justify that advantage. The selection is Figjam.
