Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Les's Destiny Star
Les's Destiny Star is our selection on a rating of 115 for this Class 5 contest over 22f, though he's only narrowly ahead of Fourofakind (113) on our figures. Fairlawn Skipper (108) and Lelantos (100) also carry solid claims and can't be dismissed. Selection confidence is low in a race this competitive, but Les's Destiny Star's rating, even by the narrowest of margins, makes him the one to side with.
