Pundit pick: Into Battle

Into Battle is the pick at Newbury on the strength of the highest figure in this four-runner race. The margin over Nowshesdancing is a narrow one, just three pounds on our book, and she looks the most obvious danger given how close that gap is. Dancing Tiger is only a pound further back again and cannot be ruled out either, while Sarangpur, twelve pounds behind the selection, rates as the outsider of the quartet on our figures. Confidence in this verdict sits at medium, but Into Battle remains the one to beat on merit.
