Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Pull The Rug
Pull The Rug heads the field on these ratings, narrowly ahead of Bold Shout and Guernsey Angel, and on good-to-soft ground over six furlongs at Salisbury this Class 5 contest looks well-suited to a horse of his profile. Bold Shout and Guernsey Angel will make him work for it, with Maid In Devon also capable of running into the frame, so the front four are closely matched and the race is unlikely to be straightforward. That said, Pull The Rug's edge at the head of the ratings, though slim, is consistent with a runner who holds a genuine claims, and with conditions posing no obvious concern, he is trusted to come out on top. Pull The Rug is the selection.
