Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Midnight Thunder
Midnight Thunder heads this ten-runner Class 3 sprint at Yarmouth on good-to-soft ground narrowly ahead of Purosangue on these ratings, and that marginal edge, combined with his overall profile over the six-furlong trip, makes him the one to be with. Purosangue is the most obvious threat and will need to be watched closely throughout, while Kodi Lion and So Darn Hot, both rated four pounds in arrears, could make their presence felt if conditions suit. The confidence is measured rather than absolute, but the case for the selection holds up well in a competitive field. Midnight Thunder is our pick.
