Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Character Testing
Character Testing gets the nod at Sedgefield, sharing the top rating in the field on 94 and holding a clear edge over the bulk of this ten-runner Class 5 contest, with the 17f trip on good ground there to be exploited. American Empire is the chief danger, level on 94, while Cadillac Ranch is four pounds back on 90 and Natural Ability is six adrift on 88, so none can be dismissed in a race with a fairly tight top end. Below that group the ratings drop away, with Mr Globalist and Battle Stride well off the pace, and The Poet's Way and Sweet Cicely are unrated and hard to weigh. Character Testing is the selection, and the pick is made with medium confidence.
