Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Winged One
Winged One ran here last time when stepping up in form, handled by a trainer with a strong course record, and our figures place her well clear of the field; first-time cheekpieces add another angle. City Queen arrives off a recent win and is progressing, while Ciara Pearl returns from a long absence with solid prior form and Hoseki is lightly raced and open to improvement. Winged One is our selection.
