Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Court of Session
Court of Session is narrowly ahead of Sanditon and Ravenglass on our ratings and is preferred over the top-rated Macs Dilemma on the basis of a fitness edge, which could prove the telling factor over seven furlongs on the Wolverhampton Polytrack. Macs Dilemma rates 2lb clear on our figures and must be respected as the chief threat, while Sanditon and Ravenglass are capable of making their presence felt if conditions suit. Confidence is not high given the small margins involved, but the fitness argument is compelling enough to side with Court of Session.
