Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: San Aer

San Aer is the pick for this fifteen-runner Killarney contest over eight furlongs, its figure of 87 the clear best of the field. No More Porter (75), Spent All Me Money (74) and Tofino (73) represent the main dangers, all rated within a few pounds of each other behind the selection. With that trio bunched together on figures, confidence is only medium, but San Aer's clear-cut advantage at the top makes it the one to side with.
