Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party

Pundit pick: Doctor Elvis

Doctor Elvis has built consistent placed form at up to 3m on soft and good ground and now tries blinkers for the first time, which should encourage a sharper effort. Young Doran shaped with real promise on debut and is the main danger if he builds on that, while Glenary Prince also offers scope with more to come. Doctor Elvis is the selection.
