Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: The Flying Seagull
Three runners share the highest rating in this ten-strong sprint at Wolverhampton, but The Flying Seagull is preferred among them on the strength of a progressive profile that suggests there may be more to come. Alkuwarrior and General Assembly, rated level on the figures, represent the most obvious dangers, while Fiorella Princess, narrowly behind the leaders, cannot be discounted over this sharp five furlongs on the all-weather. The verdict is a tentative one in a race where a pound or two separates much of the field, but The Flying Seagull is the selection.
