Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Thisistheway
THISISTHEWAY takes the eye as a mare who looked well treated on her placed effort in a graded contest last season and was still travelling strongly when falling on her sole hurdles start, racing off a fractionally lower mark today; she has previously won over this trip and joins a stable enjoying a good recent spell, so the case for more to come is a strong one. PUTAPOUNDINTHEJAR looks another who is well treated on his own graded form and this sharp track should suit after flattening out having looked the biggest threat last time, while BARBIZON, unexposed for this code, brings solid graded and flat form but is only lately back from a break. PAUL'S DREAM also arrives in good heart following a comfortable success last time. On balance, though, THISISTHEWAY gets the vote as our selection, with the calibre of opposition here making this the closest of calls.
