Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Keepsgettingbetter
Keepsgettingbetter is our selection, preferred to the head of our figures on a more progressive recent profile and a fitness edge into this race. Handshake tops the figures and is the most obvious danger, with Wyman only three pounds behind him and firmly in the mix. Lord Aus is clearly the weakest of the four, some way below the leading trio. It is a close call at the top, so confidence in Keepsgettingbetter getting the better of Handshake and Wyman is low.
