Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Peaky Boy

Homme Public heads our figures, narrowly ahead of Peaky Boy on a three-pound margin, but Peaky Boy is named as our selection thanks to a fitness edge, a progressive profile, and being proven on today's conditions. Tommie Beau and Caughtinyourtrance also boast solid form and rank among the leading dangers. With high confidence in this read, Peaky Boy is taken to defy that marginal ratings deficit and land the race.
