Pundit pick: Chief SundayDiffers from our pick

Chief Sunday heads our ratings on 106, a full seven pounds clear of Brave Jen on 99, in a nine-runner Class 5 over 18 furlongs at Fontwell. Brave Jen is the chief danger, with Western Soldier on 94 and For Old Times Sake on 92 best of the rest, while the remainder are tightly bunched in the low 90s and below. Confidence is only low given how open these contests can be, but Chief Sunday has the best figures on our ratings and gets the nod.
