Reading the form…

AI-written, grounded in our data on this race. May be wrong. Verify before staking. Opinion, not advice.

Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Perfidia

Perfidia arrives in the form of his life, having won a handicap by a length off this exact mark at Nottingham five days ago and coming here without a penalty. The fact that success came in an apprentice race is a note of caution, but he has clear claims in this modest Class 6. Mayor Of Maghera and Approaching Dawn are the chief dangers on fair marks. Perfidia is our selection.
