Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Nymphaea
Nymphaea produced a determined effort to take a handicap just six days ago, getting up in the narrowest of finishes and showing the resolve of a horse now acquainted with success; the trip and ground here are within her compass. Just Adair, runner-up in two of his three most recent starts and still on an unchanged mark, and Gearing's Point, who reversed recent form sharply to win a classified contest on her latest outing, are the chief dangers, with Naranka also meriting respect after his best effort in recent starts. Nymphaea is our selection.
