Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Artiste d'Ainay
Artiste d'Ainay is a clear selection at Stratford, rated well clear of his rivals on our figures and carrying a strong recent scoring record into this staying Class 5 test. East Eagle, He Is A Cracker and Luna Run make up the opposition, but all sit some way behind on our book. Confidence is high that the selection's form and figures combine to make him hard to beat over today's marathon trip.
