Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Green Sovereign
Green Sovereign is our selection, preferred over top-rated Abraham Lincoln for his progressive profile despite sitting second on our figures. Abraham Lincoln, Pikachu and Alfred Wallace, filling the next three rungs of the ladder, represent the clearest dangers. Confidence is only medium, with this field of seven closely matched on figures.
