Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Zumbi
Blue Reed is hard to oppose after landing a hurdle contest at Kilbeggan 26 days ago and returning to chasing where he holds fair form; today's conditions and distance look suitable. Zumbi is the most dangerous rival, having won at this track last time over a shorter trip and clearly in good heart, while Judicial Review is third in the market after appearing to need his comeback run here. Our selection is Blue Reed.
