Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party

Pundit pick: Orchidaceae

Orchidaceae is our selection for this Curragh contest over today's 8f on good to firm, edging a competitive six-runner field on our figures. Mallavelly and Pink Oxalis are close behind and both warrant respect, with Sanctijude also capable of running into the frame. It's a narrow verdict rather than a one-horse race, but Orchidaceae gets the nod as the most complete form on offer.
