Pundit pick: Dream Jet

Dream Jet may sit 2 lb behind the top-rated Woodstock City on these figures, but a fitness edge, a more solid overall book of form and a progressive profile all point to the selection holding the upper hand on the day. Woodstock City is the obvious threat, while Finjimk and Timely Salute are each capable of making the frame in what is an open Class 5 field over this stamina-testing eighteen furlongs at Market Rasen. The pick is Dream Jet.
