Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Time Turner
Time Turner is our selection at Hamilton over today's marathon 13f, holding the highest rating in this field and arriving from a yard currently in red-hot form. He already has the trip covered and won four starts back, giving him solid claims of turning that form around again. Alnayef, himself a recent winner, heads the danger list, with Desert Quest and Aighear also capable of featuring on their own recent placed form. Confidence is moderate in a race that looks competitive from top to bottom.
