Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Another Investment
Another Investment heads this red-hot sprint handicap: having emerged from a lean patch to finish a promising second at Doncaster last time, he looks fully capable of going one better back at Carlisle. No Return has likewise been rediscovering his form and rates a genuine threat, while Invincible Ruby — racing well of late and a second-time course-and-distance winner two starts back — rounds out a stern trio of dangers alongside Sherlock. Ground permitting, our selection Another Investment holds strong claims to defy this competitive field.
