Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Kilt
Kilt showed his best when landing a handicap here by four lengths last time, and despite operating off a mark 9lb higher now, he can defy that rise; he rates clear at the top of our figures and his course-and-distance record is a genuine asset. Le Diablo has unfinished business after being badly impeded by a faller on his most recent start, while Hidalgo Des Mottes was a solid runner-up last time and tries fresh headgear. Bella Union is another on a competitive mark in good heart after a string of honest efforts. Kilt is our selection.
