Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Hayynah

Hayynah gets the nod in a tightly packed Wolverhampton sprint, sitting top of our figures on 76, a single pound ahead of Diamondinthedark, so this is a narrow edge rather than a commanding one. With seven of the ten runners within five pounds of her, she has no room for error, but she looks the best fit for a Class 5 six-furlong contest on the all-weather. Diamondinthedark is the chief danger on 75, with Pull The Rug (73) and No Return (72) also capable of getting involved if the race unfolds in their favour. Hayynah is our selection, albeit with only low confidence.
