Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Wreck It Ryley
Wreck It Ryley sits a few pounds below Andesite and Misunderstood on our ratings but is preferred on the strength of a progressive profile that suggests there is more to come from this seven-furlong trip on good-to-soft ground at Thirsk. Andesite heads the field on ratings and must be respected, while Misunderstood and Mythical Phoenix are also dangers capable of making their presence felt if running to form. The bet is taken that Wreck It Ryley's upward trajectory brings him competitive enough to outrun his current rating, though this is not a race to be dogmatic about. The selection is Wreck It Ryley.
