Pundit pick: I'm A Starman

I'm A Starman heads the market on our figures by a healthy 17 lb from Knightsbridge, and with today's trip already proven he rates the one to beat in this eight-runner race. Knightsbridge arrives on the back of an improving sequence and looks the most obvious threat, with Carpe Diem's remarkable consistency and Huckleberry Sting's recent form both giving this plenty of depth. I'm A Starman's below-par finishing sequence is the slight worry, but on rating alone he's a confident selection.
