Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Sam's Amour
This is a competitive, low-confidence renewal for the Class 5 contest, with barely a rating point separating several of these on our figures. Sam's Amour has struggled to complete some starts of late but tops our ratings at 98, just ahead of Peace Motivator, whose finishing positions read poorly on paper despite a figure well above his official mark. Get The Value and Renoir both arrive with more workmanlike recent form and cannot be ruled out in a race with no standout, but Sam's Amour's rating edge, for all its questions, makes her our tentative selection.
