Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Bruant
Bruant has slipped to a tempting mark on the flat after landing a recent hurdles prize, is fitted with a hood for the first time, and is effective at 10–13f — conditions here look right for him to rediscover some earlier flat ability. Lagoon Nebula ran a solid fourth at Listowel last time and is a genuine danger at up to 2m, while Sonic Invader has been placed in back-to-back outings and also holds strong claims. Miss Crinshawn, narrowly beaten at Cork, completes the shortlist. Bruant is our selection.
