Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Perseus Way
Perseus Way heads our ratings by a clear margin and arrives on the back of consecutive wins including a nine-length handicap here last time; still well treated despite a 9lb rise and clearly at home over this course and trip. Haarar is a serious threat having been in good form through the winter, Well Educated has shown signs of revival at a reduced mark, and Winds Of Winter has run honestly at this trip without winning recently. Selection: Perseus Way.
