Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Loyal Touch
Loyal Touch, our selection, tops the ratings on 79 and looks capable of confirming that superiority over this fourteen-furlong trip. His finishing figures haven't sparkled recently, but the strength of his figures against this field is enough to take him on trust. Party Dress (76) and Lagoon Nebula (73) both rate as the biggest dangers on our figures, with Devine Genius (73) also open to further improvement. Confidence in the selection is low given how tightly this field is rated, but Loyal Touch remains the one to beat on the numbers.
