Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Fractional
Fractional has shown ability in novice company without quite delivering but a runner-up effort at Nottingham last time suggests she retains her form; our figures rate her well clear of these rivals, and as a daughter of Frankel there should be more improvement to come in this weaker contest. Deadline can improve on his Doncaster debut, while The Golden Snitch and Name The Day each hold some appeal. Fractional is our selection.
