Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: East Hampton
East Hampton is the pick for this Curragh 7f contest despite sitting third on our figures, taken on a progressive profile that gives him claims above the bare figures. Big Gossey and Audience head the ratings just a few pounds to the good, and both remain the chief dangers alongside Power Blue, who matches East Hampton on our figures. It is a competitive renewal and confidence in East Hampton is low, but the profile edge is enough to prefer him over the pair rated above him.
