Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Green Sky
Green Sky is clear on our figures in this three-runner Newbury Class 4 over an extended 14f, making it our selection with real confidence. Aphrodite Spirit is the closest on figures and the obvious danger, with Koala Rose further back and needing more to trouble the front two. High confidence reflects the size of the advantage Green Sky holds over this small field.
