Pundit corner

Pundit pick: Act Of ViolenceDiffers from our pick

Act Of Violence is preferred here on the strength of a progressive profile that suggests there may be more to come from this runner, even if the bare ratings place it a few pounds below the top trio of Black Missile, Our Planet and Ezra Cee in what looks a competitive five-furlong Class 6 on good-to-soft ground at Leicester. Black Missile heads the ratings narrowly ahead of Our Planet and Ezra Cee and must be respected, while those two rivals also carry strong claims in a race where the margins at the top are slim. The case for Act Of Violence rests on the belief that its upward curve has not yet flattened, and that improvement on good-to-soft ground could see it outrun its current standing. Act Of Violence is the selection.
