Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Ombudsman
Ombudsman heads this nine-runner Class 1 contest at York on good ground over ten furlongs with a performance rating a clear ten points ahead of the chasing pack, and his profile suggests he is well suited to conditions here. Almaqam and Constitution River both carry ratings of 125 and represent the most credible threats, while Hawk Mountain on 121 cannot be entirely dismissed and will need watching in the straight. The selection holds a clear edge over those two on current form figures and should prove good enough on a sound surface over this ten-furlong trip. Ombudsman is our selection.
