Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: The Craftymaster
The Craftymaster is the selection, sitting well clear on our figures at 66 and fresh from a runner-up effort last time out following a win two starts earlier. That progressive profile, allied to a ten-pound advantage over the nearest of these six rivals, makes a strong case for a bold vote of confidence. Cherry Cola (56), Fram Castle (55) and Tiny Riot (54) are the closest on our figures and represent the chief dangers, though none get near matching the selection's level. Confidence in The Craftymaster is high on the balance of the form.
