Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Moscow Power
Moscow Power tops our ratings and handles this distance and going well; his York run is the one concern, but he was performing well prior to that and this mark looks fair — 41 days off the track could be enough to restore him. Maid In Devon, successful back-to-back, now faces stronger competition off a higher mark; Sanaam showed encouragement last time at Southwell, while Star Material boasts the best speed figure in the field. Moscow Power is our selection.
