Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Zafaan
Zafaan brings a progressive profile into this race, with two wins from his last five starts including last time out, and that fitness edge, backed up by a clock time that supports the form, is enough to prefer him even though he sits second rather than top of our figures. Zaraquelle heads the ratings and, sporting first-time tongue-tie, remains the most obvious danger, while Divot and Pure Theory both arrive with their own claims from moderate recent form. Zafaan is the selection at medium confidence, the sharper and fitter sort in a race with plenty of workable form.
