Pundit pick: Cavalry Call

Cavalry Call shares the top rating in this nine-runner Class 6 contest over eleven furlongs on Southwell's all-weather surface, but a progressive profile and clock evidence that backs up the form make a compelling case for preferring him over the equally-rated Golspie. Palazzo Persico and Spec of Light are the next dangers on ratings though they have a fair bit to find with our selection on the figures. With the form reading well and the times lending weight to his figures, Cavalry Call looks the right call here.
