Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Woolridge
Woolridge heads our ratings on 64, three pounds clear of Why Because and Stormy Pearl on 61, which is a narrow but useful edge in a modest Class 6 sprint at Newcastle. Nothing in the facts marks out a standout, so this looks a competitive 13-runner event in which the top-rated runner only has to run to his figure to be involved. Why Because and Stormy Pearl are the chief dangers, with Edmond Halley a pound further back on 60 and well capable of getting in the mix. Woolridge gets the vote, though confidence is low in such an open contest.
