Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Assorda
Assorda is our selection on a rating of 98, a few pounds clear of Interchangeable and the rest of this Class 5 field over today's 17f. Interchangeable (94) is the most obvious danger on our figures, with Scots Poet (91) and Zamond (90) both capable of running into the frame. Confidence in the selection is low given how tightly this field is graded, but Assorda's rating edge, even if modest, is enough to give her the nod.
