Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Union Island

Union Island is in decent form, placed last time off today's mark, and has a course-and-distance win in the book; acts on good to soft and good in first-time cheekpieces, and the profile suggests a horse who runs his race consistently — Up The Jazz was below form last time but is capable of better, while Approaching Dawn had a slow-start excuse recently and must be respected on course form — Union Island is our selection.
