Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Felix Somary

Felix Somary looks the pick in a competitive 15-runner eight-furlong contest on soft ground, with a progressive profile, a fitness edge and a clock that backs the form all pointing his way. He is rated 73, just six pounds behind the top-rated Calm The Jets on 79, a gap that is well within reach for a horse still on the upgrade. Calm The Jets is the chief danger on raw figures, while The Bear Trap on 74 and Mickey The Steel on 73 are also firmly in the mix, so this is far from a formality. Even so, Felix Somary's improvement and readiness to peak on the day make him the selection.
