Furlong's verdict

AI-written, grounded in our data on this race. May be wrong. Verify before staking. Opinion, not advice.

Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party

Pundit pick: Je Suis Celebre

Je Suis Celebre found a step up in trip beyond him last time but showed a solid level of form over seven to eight furlongs on a sound surface, and he drops in class today with conditions more to his liking. Alex Belardo arrives on the back of a recent win and is effective across a range of surfaces, while Land Of The Giants ran creditably on his last outing and threatens in lower-grade company; Buttermere Ridge also warrants consideration if his new headgear helps him settle. Je Suis Celebre is our selection.
