Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Ravenglass

Ravenglass gets the nod in a modest Wolverhampton seven-furlong contest, with his progressive profile the key reason to prefer him over the top-rated Havana Club, who is only five pounds better on our figures. Ravenglass sits third on our ratings at 56, so he doesn't have much to find with the principals, and an upward trajectory can bridge a gap that small in a Class 6 field. Havana Club is the chief danger as the highest-rated runner on 61, with Snooze Lane (59) and Homme de Fer (55) also firmly in the mix. This is a competitive heat, so confidence is limited, but Ravenglass is the pick on his improving profile.
