Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party

Pundit pick: Luna Beaux

Luna Beaux is our selection, sharing top spot on our figures at 65 with Who Is Alice but edging it as the pick in this Class 6 contest at Chepstow. Who Is Alice poses the stiffest threat given the identical figure, while Grand Vista and Musical Soldier both have solid recent form of their own from further down the list. Confidence in this verdict is medium, but Luna Beaux's rounded profile makes her our selection.
