Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Gone By

Gone By's wide-margin success in her last outing — drawing clear with authority — left plenty of scope for more, and her debut form has since been strongly endorsed by those she beat; her opening official mark looks very lenient for a filly of this promise. Pearl River is the main threat after winning with something in hand at York, while Mythical Valentine improved to win his latest start and is respected, though he may prefer some give in the ground. Gone By is our selection.
