Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Southbank
Southbank has been consistent at this level with several placed efforts and is well treated on his current mark. Neptune Legend is the main danger, having taken a win at Bath earlier this summer and remaining on a manageable handicap mark. Hidden Verse, now fitted with blinkers following a run where the ground appeared against him, adds to the interest. Our selection is Southbank.
