Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: April Mist

April Mist put up an encouraging debut run at Naas, finishing runner-up with purpose over today's trip, and she looks set to improve with that experience behind her. Bold Commander is also feared — that debut fifth at The Curragh came in a race where the form has worked out well, and significant improvement is expected from a top yard. Tradewinds is the most experienced runner in the field but has yet to break through after three outings. April Mist is the selection.
