Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Sir Albert
Sir Albert appeared to run better than his last finishing position suggests — he was trapped with nowhere to go behind a wire-to-wire winner at an unsuitable tight track — and returns to the all-weather on a mark the figures consider fair after progressive form last term. Bobby Bennu and Caviar Cowboy are the main threats, with the latter's closest conqueror having since performed at the top level to boost that form. Sir Albert is our selection.
