Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Ballydisco
Ballydisco showed on his return at Uttoxeter that he's back to something like his best and stays well beyond today's trip on any ground; our figures have him narrowly clear. Galway Reel is the main threat — a course-and-distance winner on a fair mark, pulled up last time only because he was asked to run again too soon. Ballydisco is our selection.
