Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Miraculous

Miraculous is the selection, sitting at the top of our figures on the back of one of the sharpest speed figures in this sprint. Alfa Duplicate, Intervention and The Flying Seagull are the chief dangers, each with plenty to recommend them on recent form, in a race that looks wide open. Confidence in the pick is low given how tightly this field is bunched, but Miraculous just shades it on our overall figures.
