Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Battling Siki
Battling Siki heads our figures for this competitive 10-furlong contest at Ballinrobe, narrowly ahead of Jr Mahon with Kashel Spring and Concert Party rated level just behind. It's a tightly bunched leading group on our figures, so the case for Battling Siki rests on a shade the highest rating of the four rather than daylight — Jr Mahon, Kashel Spring and Concert Party are all capable and cannot be dismissed as dangers. Minaun View and May Night, rated some way below the leaders, look to have more to find. Battling Siki is our selection with confidence high, the pick of a genuinely open finish.
