Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Macanudo
Macanudo heads this Class 6 sprint at Brighton narrowly ahead of the field on our ratings, and he has conditions to suit over six furlongs on good to firm. Candy Warhol and My Mate Mackley, both rated four pounds below, represent the chief threats alongside Nordic Glory, who is a further pound adrift and will need to find improvement to bridge the gap. The selection's edge in quality looks sufficient at this level, and there is little in the remainder of the field to complicate matters. Macanudo is our selection.
