Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Bucaneer's Spirit
Bucaneer's Spirit has run consistently well in this grade and was just beaten last time at Leopardstown, running to his level; he handles today's distance and going and his current handicap mark looks lenient based on his best effort. Kitty Bear was below form when dropped back in trip last time but is better suited here, while Bay Of Dreams came back to form over today's trip most recently and is on her previous winning mark; Zipster showed decent form on his most recent outing. Bucaneer's Spirit is our selection.
