Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Storm Esme

Storm Esme is the one to side with in this Southwell sprint, her progressive profile making her more appealing than her bare figures suggest, as she sits just four pounds behind the top-rated Daytona Lady on our ratings. That is a modest gap for a runner on the upgrade, and she looks capable of closing it in an open-looking Class 5 contest on standard going. Daytona Lady is the obvious danger as the top-rated runner, with Keldeo just a pound behind her and Insuspense also firmly in the mix, so this is far from a straightforward assignment. Storm Esme can reward the faith, and she is our selection.
