Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Talitha Rouge

Talitha Rouge heads this eleven-runner Class 5 contest at Sandown on ratings, sitting narrowly ahead of the next pair, and at ten furlongs the trip looks well suited to her profile. Mohaab and Mmmbop represent the most credible dangers in a field where the two share the same rating and will need to run to their best to close the gap, while Topathemorning also warrants respect further down the order. On the balance of the form on show, Talitha Rouge is the selection.
