Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Haffner

Haffner heads this seven-runner Class 1 mile contest at Newmarket narrowly ahead of Quest For Stars on ratings, and the form behind that figure looks solid enough to make him a confident proposition on good ground over a trip that should suit. Quest For Stars and Rocket Boy are the chief dangers, with the former's rating of 120 making him the most credible threat, while Burning Up, though lower-rated, deserves respect as a secondary concern should the principals disappoint. With Haffner holding a clear edge over the remainder of the field and conditions appearing in his favour, he is selected to come out on top.
