Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party

Pundit pick: Supreme Dancer

Supreme Dancer is our selection at Wolverhampton, and the progressive profile is the reason we side with him over Royal County Glory, who is only narrowly ahead of him on our figures at 70 to 66. A horse on the upswing can close a gap of that size in a modest Class 6 seven-furlong contest, and this looks a race where improvement could be enough. Royal County Glory is the obvious danger as the top-rated runner, with Hamaleel and Cosmic Clarets both on 68 and also very much in the mix. This is a tight, open event, but Supreme Dancer is the one to side with.
