Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: An Bradan Feasa
An Bradan Feasa is our selection in this compact four-runner contest, sitting on top of the ratings and narrowly ahead of Tabasko, with Pergamon and Pyleates further back again. Tabasko is the most dangerous of the trio on figures and cannot be ruled out, while Pergamon and Pyleates both have to find more to trouble the principals. With the clearest claim on the ratings, An Bradan Feasa is the pick at medium confidence.
