Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Law Of Average
Law Of Average is our selection, a clear leader on our figures after a win last time out that continued a strong recent sequence. He races again quickly with previous experience over today's trip and an 8lb edge over his official mark. A trio of rivals rated not far behind on our figures pose the main threat, but Law Of Average's recent form gives him solid claims today.
