Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Rebel's Romance

Rebel's Romance sets the standard on figures, rated 125 and clear of this Class 1 field at Newmarket (July) over today's 12f, making him our selection. Almeric and Convergent both carry claims on 118 and 117 respectively and look the most likely to give him a race, while Tenability rounds out the group of dangers on 110. Arabian Crown brings up the rear on the same figure as Tenability and looks the most vulnerable of the five. With the form book firmly on his side, Rebel's Romance is the pick to confirm that superiority.
