Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Perfect Hope
Perfect Hope heads our ratings on 75, four pounds better than Callisterra on 71, and that edge is enough to make her the pick in a modest Class 6 seven-furlong contest at Newcastle. The gap is a narrow one rather than a decisive one, so this is no confident call, but she looks the most capable on our figures. Callisterra is the chief danger, with Onslaught on 68 and Son of A Fish on 67 also close enough to take advantage if the selection fails to fire. Perfect Hope gets the vote.
