AI-written, grounded in our data on this race. May be wrong. Verify before staking. Opinion, not advice.

Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Mysterious Times

Mysterious Times comes in with a promising debut third at Sandown, showing signs of greenness but enough to suggest further progress, and the stable has a particularly strong history with its juveniles here — the step to 6f and further experience ought to bring out the best in him. Weekend Roar is proven at the trip having gone close at Salisbury and cannot be underestimated with Oisin Murphy in the saddle, while Jackson Canyon is a well-bred newcomer from a respected Irish yard who merits close market watching. Mysterious Times is our selection.
