Pundit pick: Forever PerfectDiffers from our pick

Forever Perfect gets the nod in this Wolverhampton Class 6 over twelve furlongs, and the preference over the top-rated runner rests on a progressive profile that suggests there is more to come. Skirt Around is the main danger as our highest-rated runner, five pounds clear on our figures, so the pick is far from a certainty. Ten Sixty Six is level on rating with our selection, while Tiger Beetle is just a pound behind, so this looks an open contest in which improvement could prove decisive. Forever Perfect is the selection.
