Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Methgal

Methgal heads this twelve-runner Class 6 sprint at Wolverhampton on the all-weather on ratings that place him narrowly ahead of Dark Alley and a clear notch above the remainder, and his profile suggests he is well-suited to this standard surface over six furlongs. Dark Alley is the most credible threat with a rating of 74, while Go Lockers Go and Cosmic Clarets will also need to be kept onside, but none of them can quite match Methgal on the figures available. The selection looks to have enough in hand to assert here, and the confidence in his chance is high. Methgal is our selection.
