Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Neapolitan
Neapolitan rates three pounds below Apex Star on our figures, but it is a progressive profile that makes the case here, with the sense that there is more to come from this runner over the Wolverhampton six furlongs than the bare rating suggests. Apex Star heads the field on ratings and must be respected as the principal danger, with Trust Sergei and King Cherry also capable of making this competitive in a wide-open thirteen-runner Class 6 heat. The selection is taken on trust to edge things out, though the confidence is modest given the strength of the opposition at the top of the market. Neapolitan is our selection.
