Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: In The Trenches
In The Trenches looks the one to side with in this two-runner Class 4 contest over 20 furlongs at Wetherby, rating narrowly ahead of his only opponent on our figures. That slim two-pound edge is enough to make him the call on good to firm ground in a small field. Start Again is the sole danger and, being so close on ratings, will need to be seen off, but In The Trenches has the merit to do it. In The Trenches is our selection.
