Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Belcamo

Belcamo is our selection on a rating of 106, the highest in this ten-runner field and a handful of pounds clear of Four Decades in second. That edge makes him the pick to follow here, though confidence is only low given how tightly the leading group is rated. Four Decades, Ocean Heights and Thickthorn Tom head the list of dangers, all within a few pounds of the selection on our figures.
