Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Go Rimbaud
Go Rimbaud is clear on our figures at 89, three pounds ahead of the next best in this small four-runner field, and gets the nod as our selection in this Class 4 contest. Chapter (86) and On The Inlet (85) are the obvious dangers on a similar level of figure, while Brocklesby Bill (70) rates some way behind the leading trio. Confidence is high given the clear gap at the top, and Go Rimbaud looks the type to confirm that edge over today's eight furlongs.
