Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Tellherthename
Tellherthename has been taking races in good style lately and, while a modest rise in the weights applies here, the contest looks within his compass; he is developing progressively over fences and his handler is in excellent current form. Captain Cool, a course-and-distance winner who arrives in good form, is the main danger, while Ice In The Veins has most to do based on their recent meeting. Tellherthename is our selection.
