“midfield and travelling wide early - improved into third by halfway - mistake at the 11th - made further ground to edge in front before 3 out - went on before 2 out - kept finding more to win with something in hand”

Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Temptationinmilan
Temptationinmilan heads our shortlist in this wide-open 18-runner event at Killarney over an extended 23 furlongs. He's second on our figures but gets the nod ahead of the horse rated clear at the top thanks to a more progressive profile. The chief dangers on our figures are that top-rated runner plus two more rated in behind him, each with solid claims of their own on this book. It's a competitive puzzle, and while our confidence in the selection is measured rather than maximum, the case for Temptationinmilan holds up well on balance.
