Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Five Ways
Five Ways heads this competitive Newmarket seven-furlong Class 2 on a rating five points clear of Native American, making him narrowly the standout on paper, though the confidence here is modest given the quality lurking beneath him. Native American and Addison Grey are capable of closing that gap on the day, while Aqpan also merits respect as a live threat in a field where several runners arrive on similar terms. Good ground at Newmarket should ensure a true test, and Five Ways has the edge in class to edge this out if reproducing his best. Five Ways is the selection.
