Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party

Pundit pick: Big Bard

Big Bard heads a very tightly packed Kempton sprint, rated 60 on our figures and just a pound ahead of Beelzebub, so this is a narrow call rather than a confident one. That slim edge is enough to put him on top in a Class 6 six-furlong contest where the top of the field is separated by only a few pounds. Beelzebub is the chief danger, with May Encounter and My Dad Tom also close enough to take advantage if that narrow gap proves too small on the day. Big Bard gets the vote at the head of a competitive 12-runner field.
