Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Bear Right
Bear Right is our selection at Leopardstown, preferred over the top-rated on a progressive profile and a fitness edge over the rest of this field. God Knows sits highest of all on our figures and remains a live threat, with Faoladh and Comfort Line completing the main dangers close behind on the same book. It is a competitive race and confidence in the selection is low, but Bear Right's profile and fitness give a fair chance of getting the better of the higher-rated opposition.
