Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Velvet Vega
Velvet Vega set clear standard in this modest novice, her debut form franked at the highest level since — she was third at Kempton most recently and is bred for this trip, effective on good ground and the all-weather. Food For Thought is well bred by a strong yard and left the impression she needed her Chepstow outing, while Hatta Romance shaped with promise on debut in stronger company. Velvet Vega is our selection.
