Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Turpin Gold
Turpin Gold holds the strongest figures and his hurdle record suggests there is more to come over fences — this trip on good ground suits him well, and he was still finding his feet on his recent return. Merely A Detail ran consistently over 2m hurdles and looks interesting on her fencing debut, while Greer Hill, who landed a handicap chase here last time, is another solid danger. Turpin Gold is our selection.
