Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Snooze Lane
Snooze Lane rates 2 lb behind the top-rated Based on these figures, but a progressive profile makes a compelling case for closing that narrow gap over seven furlongs on the Wolverhampton all-weather. Based and Court of Session, separated by just a pound at the head of the ratings, represent the most obvious threats, with She's Crafty also worth a second look if finding improvement. The confidence level is modest in an open Class 6 heat, but the upward trajectory of Snooze Lane's form is the deciding factor, and she is the selection.
