Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Spring Is Sprung

Spring Is Sprung is our selection, sharing the top of our figures on the back of a win earlier in this six-start sequence and consistent frame finishes since, including a third last time out. He has form over today's trip and going and looks the one to beat in a race that features several in-form types. Ziggy's Triton, Brazen Bolt and Al Hussar are the chief dangers, all rating within a few pounds of the selection. Confidence is moderate given how tightly this field is grouped on our figures.
