Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Young Churchill
Young Churchill is our selection, sitting comfortably clear on figures despite a modest recent scoreline and a lengthy 103-day absence since his last outing. God Of Thunder is the most obvious danger back on a similar figure, while Grey Fable and Metamorpheus both have claims of their own. Confidence is low given the query marks over fitness and finishing placings throughout the field.
