Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Double Rush

Double Rush arrives here on the back of two authoritative victories and, despite a further rise in the weights, still looks to have a clear edge over these rivals on our ratings — a seven-pound-plus advantage over the nearest challengers speaks for itself on a track where good-to-firm ground and a favourable draw should play to his strengths. Completely Random, drawn handily and capable of finishing strongly when the trip tightens up, is a genuine threat given his sharp form on the all-weather, while Binhareer is a class act who was denied when bidding to complete the double last time and remains dangerous off just a small rise; Ten Pounds, well suited by this stiff six furlongs, also merits respect. That said, Double Rush's profile — progressive, well-drawn, and proven on quick ground — makes him the standout in what is otherwise an open sprint. **Double Rush** is our selection.
