Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Steel Magnolia
Steel Magnolia has been consistent in form and went close at Naas last time, beaten just 1¼l; a first-time visor adds a new dimension and this sharper 5f track suits her well. Sceitimini is a genuine rival — Colin Keane takes the ride and his quality form before a long absence suggests he retains significant ability. Whatswrongnow comes here on just two days' rest but has been performing well off this mark. You Smiled carries a lenient opening handicap mark and is interesting if her sprint maiden efforts are the guide. Steel Magnolia is the selection.
