Pundit corner

Pundit pick: Toca Madera

Toca Madera landed a 5f handicap in emphatic style last time, producing a sharp turn of foot from the front to win by 3½ lengths off a mark 11lb lower; despite the rise in class and weights, he rates well clear on our figures and the conditions suit. Likedbymike arrives off career-best form in Listed company and is the chief concern, with Erosandpsyche — who shaped well in that same sphere — another danger alongside Kerdos, a former Group performer capable of a bounce-back on any ground. Toca Madera is our selection.
