Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Tyson
Tyson has shown a clear return to form since joining his new yard, winning by a wide margin before going close over a longer trip last time; coming back in distance looks the right move, he remains well treated on his best form, and the trainer is among the most in-form handlers around. The Gypsy Davey holds a fair mark on his chase record and brings distance experience, while Prince De Juilley and Lion Of The Desert also merit respect. Tyson is our selection.
