Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party

Pundit pick: Swelltime

Our selection is Swelltime, preferred here ahead of the top-rated King Ferdinand on a fitness edge and a more progressive profile. King Ferdinand nonetheless sets the standard on our figures and remains the most obvious threat, with Malikanna and Luck Between Us both holding solid claims of their own close behind. This looks a tightly-bunched, competitive renewal over the 20-furlong trip, and with confidence in the selection low, Swelltime's overall profile just about gets the vote for us.
