Pundit pick: WackestoneDiffers from our pick

Wackestone is the top-rated runner here and showed enough in three previous Flat efforts to be taken seriously on his return, effective at nine to ten furlongs on easy ground. He has since been active over hurdles and should be fitter for those runs; off a short break. The Mediator is consistent and among the better handicappers here with three recent placed efforts, while San Andreas has experience and ability at the trip. Nancee Spain is also capable on her day. Wackestone is our selection.
