Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Cosmic Clarets
Cosmic Clarets was below par here last time but his earlier form suggests he remains on a fair mark, and a first-time visor gives connections an angle to work with; Come On Over was narrowly denied at this course last week and is 1lb lower now, making him the most obvious danger. Kings Merchant, a former winner here, has slipped to a career-low mark and must not be dismissed, while Maxi Boy has decent pace figures and is capable of better after a poor run last time. Cosmic Clarets is our pick.
