Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Explode

Explode heads this Class 4 event at Catterick on our figures, a full 17 lb clear of his three rivals. That is a wide margin for a four-runner field, marking him out as much the strongest on our assessment here. Something and L'Eagle Aid, level on rating, are the pick of the dangers, with Hibernate up against it as the least well regarded of the quartet. Explode, our selection, looks the one to beat.
