AI-written, grounded in our data on this race. May be wrong. Verify before staking. Opinion, not advice.
Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Camino Lad
Camino Lad ran a solid race on debut, finishing third at Limerick, and the step up in trip today suits a gelding bred for stamina — normal improvement from that first outing points to a big chance, and his trainer is running at a remarkable 45% over the past fortnight. Nermal, runner-up on his most recent start over today's trip, rates the biggest danger. Wonderfulwonderful also deserves respect returning to the flat after useful hurdles form. Camino Lad is our selection.
