Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party

Pundit pick: Moonfall

Moonfall is our selection ahead of top-rated Wechaad, preferred for his progressive profile even though he shares the same figure at the head of the ladder. Wechaad, Iron Lily and St Anton, the next three on our figures, represent the clearest dangers. Confidence is only low in a race that rates unusually tight from top to bottom.
