Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Clash Of Hearts
Clash Of Hearts has placed in stronger races on both previous starts and the return to a longer trip should play to his strengths; his experience holds a clear advantage in a field containing newcomers. Onslaught, sired by a top-class sprinter and representing a stable with a knack for having debutants ready to run, is worth tracking in the betting, while Excessive finished with purpose over a stiff 5f and is the most likely to progress upped in trip. Clash Of Hearts is the selection.
