Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Red Snapper
Red Snapper looks the one to side with in this Leicester sprint, as his progressive profile makes him more appealing than the top-rated runner, and he is only five pounds off Fenlander on our figures. Fenlander is the chief danger as the narrowly top-rated runner on 75, with Mr Cool just a pound behind him and Rebel Path a pound ahead of our pick, so this is far from a one-sided contest. Still, the trend of improvement counts for plenty on good to firm ground over six furlongs, and Red Snapper can close the gap on that trio. Red Snapper is our selection.
