Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Captaincy

Captaincy impressed on his debut when finishing third at Leicester and looks capable of a step forward here; his stable has a strong record in this race and today's ground suits. Il Capo is the most likely danger if the drop back to 6f brings improvement after being unable to get home over further on debut, while Absolute Diamond, runner-up at Chepstow with a notable jockey booking, also warrants respect. Captaincy is our selection.
