Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Eartha
Eartha is much the biggest figure in this Hamilton race and gets the vote as our selection, our rating seeing considerably more in her than her modest recent finishes suggest, even allowing for a near year-long absence. Not Me and Ingleby Archie head the dangers on our figures, while Ashen also has claims a little further back. Confidence is low given how sharp Eartha's layoff makes this hard to call, but she's given the nod on the strength of our figures.
