Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Soul Warrior

Soul Warrior is our selection in this 14-runner Newcastle 7f contest, and his progressive profile is the reason we prefer him to Territorial Star, who is only two pounds better on our figures. At 64 he sits second in our ratings, four pounds above the 60-rated trio behind, and his progressive profile suggests there may be more to come at this level. Territorial Star is the main danger as the top-rated runner, while Elias Escape and Lanarra are both capable of getting involved if the pace falls their way. Soul Warrior looks the one to be with.
