Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Kaleido
Kaleido is our selection at Hamilton over today's 8f, backed by a progressive profile after back-to-back runner-up efforts and a fast clock that supports the form. He's preferred ahead of the higher-rated Inspired purely on that upward trajectory. Inspired remains the biggest threat on our figures, with Break The Bank and Jannas Journey both capable of running into the frame. It's a fair rather than rock-solid vote of confidence, but the profile edges it Kaleido's way.
