Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Veblen Good
Veblen Good is our selection at Ayr, though barely so - Jordan Electrics is only a single point behind on our figures, with a third last time out for form. Lord Roxby and Gentle George have both landed a win among their recent starts, adding to a genuinely competitive book. With so little between the principals, confidence is low, but Veblen Good's own third last time out, and a win three starts back before that, edge it.
