Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Al Aasy
AL AASY, a proven performer at pattern level, brings the clearest form into this race after a solid reappearance when runner-up in a Group 3 at Newbury, and with conditions and trip both suiting, he rates the one to be following on our figures. His main threat looks to be BY THE BOOK, who was well below his best in a Group 1 at Meydan last time but had shown a clear upward curve before that and drops back to a level within his compass, while INVOLVEMENT and MISS WONG both have questions to answer having each failed to last out their trip last time, leaving them best watched rather than backed. The one small worry for AL AASY is that a steady pace here could make him work for it without a strong gallop to challenge, but on ability alone he remains by far the most likely winner and is our selection.
