Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Spitalfield
Our selection is Spitalfield, rated four pounds better than this field's next pair, Catuaba and Barry Fife, with Roxboro River only a further pound behind on our figures. It is a competitive, closely-rated race at Worcester, and confidence in the selection is low given how tightly matched the leading group is. Catuaba, Barry Fife and Roxboro River all pose a threat on their own recent form, but Spitalfield gets the nod as our selection on the balance of the book.
