Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Roaring Legend
Roaring Legend is preferred for this competitive Class 2 staying event, taken ahead of the head of our figures on a more progressive-looking profile even with Real Dream rating two pounds higher. Real Dream himself, along with Beylerbeyi and Majestic, make up the chief dangers in a race where barely a dozen pounds covers the first half a dozen home on our figures. Confidence is low in such a tightly-bunched line-up, but Roaring Legend's profile gives the strongest case for improvement.
