Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Doyouknowwhatimean
Doyouknowwhatimean tops our figures for this Worcester race by some distance, rated 116 against a next-best of 90 among the remaining contenders, and that margin makes him our confident selection. A Little Something, Traveling Soldier and Greer Hill, all rated on 90, head the list of dangers and would be the ones to beat him home. With such a clear rating advantage over a well-matched pack behind him, Doyouknowwhatimean is selected with high confidence.
