Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Sarangpur
Sarangpur arrives on a mark that looks lenient against best Irish form, and the longer trip of twelve furlongs at Brighton should be in the horse's favour given the stamina in the pedigree; the figures put Sarangpur clear at the head of the ratings. Power Of Prayer is the main danger, effective on turf and only marginally higher than when an all-weather winner, while Night Bear goes well at the course and a strong local handler makes it a threat. Sarangpur is our selection.
