Pundit corner

Pundit pick: Mahons Glory

Mahons Glory is our selection, preferred over Soul Icon for its fitness edge and progressive profile rather than pure figures — it sits third in this field but the recent form arc points the right way. Soul Icon heads the danger list as the field's top performer on our figures, with Gunsight Ridge close behind and Riaan also in the picture. Confidence in Mahons Glory is medium given how tightly matched the leading trio is.
