Pundit pick: Autocrat

Autocrat is our selection at Ballinrobe, topping our ratings on 71 over this thirteen-furlong contest on good ground, a six-pound edge over Preparations in second. Trishuli River and Kings Gesture complete the group of chief dangers, rated 63 and 59 respectively, with the rest of the field rated more moderately behind them. On these figures Autocrat is the one to beat, though we rate confidence in the selection as medium given how tightly the leading contenders are matched.
