Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Hitthehayson
Hitthehayson tops our figures and was a clear-cut second on his latest start, form that has since taken a boost from the horse that beat him. He won at a notably higher weight over fences last year, so today's mark looks workable, and the sharp ground in prospect should suit his profile. Georginas Jet looks the pace factor having made all in impressive fashion last time and remains dangerous even up in the weights, with Clone Cross and Riyami others of note on figures. It's a tightly-graded, competitive heat without an obvious standout, so Hitthehayson gets the nod on figures rather than serious conviction.
