Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Hip Hop Chrissy
Hip Hop Chrissy showed useful early pace when finishing third on debut — that run came behind a pair regarded highly enough for top-level summer competition, which reads well for this easier assignment — and the switch to 5f looks a positive move for a filly who displayed speed from the gate. Bit Of A Buzz, with four outings behind him, is the best-exposed runner here and has posted consistent figures across those starts, making him the most obvious danger, but Hip Hop Chrissy has the pedigree, the debut form and a strong yard to call on. Hip Hop Chrissy is our selection.
