Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Scandi Noir
Scandi Noir shaped with plenty of promise when third on debut, staying on into the placings having been slow to begin, and her form has since been enhanced by the winner going on to take a Group 3; a more positive ride should unlock further improvement here. Anglesea Bridge and Alwaysanangel, both unraced, represent powerful stables with strong first-time-out records, while Away And Gone is another with potential stepping up in trip. Scandi Noir is our selection.
