Pundit pick: FinjimkDiffers from our pick

Finjimk looks the call in this Worcester Class 5 over 16 furlongs, sitting just a pound behind Jollie Dame on our figures but holding the edge on fitness and a progressive profile that suggests there is more to come. Jollie Dame is the obvious danger as the narrowly top-rated runner, while Billy Butcher, rated 92, and Estate Planning, on 91, are close enough to make this a tight contest on the good ground. With so little between the leading contenders, this is a low-confidence call, but Finjimk's sharper condition can swing it his way. Finjimk is the selection.
