Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Perisher
Perisher arrives here seeking a third consecutive victory and, crucially, the assessor has been lenient after those wins, so he is well in on the weights. He showed genuine battling qualities last time when asserting from the front over a similar trip, and the step up to ten furlongs looks well within his compass. Princling and Bayaann, both from a powerful William Haggas yard, represent the most obvious threats, while Amadeus Mozart's experience at a higher level makes him another to keep onside. **Perisher** is our selection.
