Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Currumbin
Currumbin is the choice in this Class 6 12-furlong event at Wolverhampton, and his progressive profile is the key reason to side with him over Yokkell, who is only a pound better on our figures at 72 against his 71. The gap is narrow enough that a horse still on the upgrade can overturn it, and Currumbin has the look of one who is improving rather than levelling off. Yokkell is the chief danger as the top-rated runner, while Bradbury and Midnight Media, both on 70, are also within a pound of our pick and cannot be dismissed in a tightly packed contest. Currumbin gets the nod, with the trend in his favour.
