Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party

Pundit pick: Harry Brown

Harry Brown ran a solid fourth last time out, beaten two lengths in class 5 company, and comes back here 1lb lower — course and distance are proven and our figures put him clear of this field. Recon Mission has a top trainer connection and must not be dismissed, while Havana Jag arrives after a lengthy absence in consistent form and Silky Robin brings a recent win to the table. Harry Brown is our selection.
