Pundit pick: Court AlertDiffers from our pick

Court Alert has shown a progressive profile that makes her an intriguing alternative to the top-rated Trust Amy, who holds a narrow five-pound advantage on paper but may not carry the same fitness edge into this Class 5 six-furlong contest on good-to-soft ground at Leicester. Harry's Halo and Mumayaz are credible dangers and should not be underestimated in what looks a competitive sprint, though neither appears to offer the upward trajectory that makes Court Alert appealing at this stage of her campaign. The confidence level is modest, and any one of the trio ahead on ratings could take this if reproducing their best, but the case for an improving horse catching the field in a forgiving spot is a sound one. Court Alert is our selection.
