Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Back To Cali
Slack Alice arrives in good form after landing a race at Market Rasen last time and the 7lb penalty may prove insufficient to restrain her, as she looks a progressive staying type; yet Back To Cali, joining a strong yard from Ireland, could well prove himself capable of better than his current mark suggests, while Alex The Great might yet prove the pick of the field as the extra distance comes into play. Back To Cali is our selection.
