Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Royal Hollow
Royal Hollow tops our figures for this race and is the clear selection, her rating of 85 giving a real edge over this field of eight. The gap back to the chasing pack supports a confident view, even with more than one legitimate danger in behind. Light Up The Dark, Buddy One and Tounsivator are the pick of those dangers, but Royal Hollow remains our selection with high confidence.
