Reading the form…

AI-written, grounded in our data on this race. May be wrong. Verify before staking. Opinion, not advice.

Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Wudya

None of these can be discounted, but preference is for WUDYA to make a flying start over fences. Big Boy Barney is the main danger.

Forecast 7/2 Mary, 4/1 Kadjar Des Mottes, 5/1 Big Boy Barney, 11/2 Herja, Le Gentleman, 6/1 Wudya, 13/2 Bobbarelli
