Pundit pick: Toy Soldier

Toy Soldier tops our ratings and is back in form with two placed efforts in his last couple of outings, including a narrow second off this same mark last time; the trip and any going suit, and a first-time visor is a new angle for today. Jkr Cobbler has been consistent and was beaten a length off this mark at his most recent start, while Lope Y Linda is in fine form but faces a stiffer test reverting to handicap company. Toy Soldier is our selection.
