Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Halfway House Lad
Halfway House Lad heads our figures after back-to-back wins, the latest a narrow success here under a front-running ride, and he handles the 26-furlong trip and good ground well; the stiffer mark is the only reservation. Aill Dubh and Kingofthegame both carry course form and are the main dangers, while Judicial Review — who landed this race last year — arrives freshened up with new gear. Halfway House Lad is our selection.
