Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Brave Nation
Brave Nation heads this twelve-runner Class 4 sprint at Bath on good-to-firm ground, sitting narrowly ahead of Jax Edge and Forager, who share the same rating and represent the most credible threats to his chance over the five furlongs. Alondra, a pound or two further back, cannot be entirely dismissed in what is a competitive little heat. The confidence is modest, but Brave Nation's edge at the head of the ratings makes him the logical call, and he is selected to justify that standing with a performance to match.
