Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Gibside

Gaelic Approach matches Gibside on our figures at the top of this Class 5 stayers' race over fourteen furlongs, but we prefer Gibside on a progressive profile with the clock backing up the form figures. Gaelic Approach, Twilight Safari and Port George all pose a danger from just a few pounds back on our figures, in a race with only five runners and little between them. Confidence in the selection is low given how tightly this bunch is rated on good ground at Thirsk.
