Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Moyneard
Moyneard is the selection for this 18f race at Sligo on good-to-firm ground, preferred to the higher-rated Circus Hill (96) on a more progressive profile and a more solid book of form, despite sitting just behind on 94 with us. Circus Hill, Clovelly Charm (94) and Churchfield Annie (90) stand out as the chief dangers in a tightly packed field of 12. Confidence in this selection is low, reflecting how close matters look at the head of our figures.
