Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Thecompanysergeant
Thecompanysergeant is our selection, preferred over the higher-rated Bottler'secret on a clear fitness edge after racing much more recently. The formful profile — a win last time out and experience over today's distance — backs up the case even though the figures alone don't put it on top. Bottler'secret, Harry Des Ongrais and Lisnamult Lad are the chief dangers, all sitting close behind on the book and each capable of running to a big number. Confidence in this opinion is low given how tightly the leading contenders are grouped.
