Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Porsche Lad

Porsche Lad is our selection over today's 12f at Dundalk, edging it on a progressive profile and a clear fitness edge over most of these dangers, having run just 9 days ago. Confidence is medium, the case resting on that profile and freshness rather than his last two starts. Sutton Hoo, level with him at the top of our figures, is the main threat, while Rich Belief and Dancing Steve also carry solid claims. All three will need to be at their best to overhaul him.
