Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Red Autumn
Red Autumn is clearly the best of this Killarney field of eight on our figures, rated some nine pounds clear of the chasing pack over today's 8f trip, and is a confident selection as a result. Golddream and Glitter And Glory share next-best claims, while Johnny Soda also has a say, but none look able to match the selection's clear advantage on our figures. That gap underpins a high-confidence verdict. Red Autumn is our pick, with the rest fighting for the places behind.
