Racing Post · third-party

Pundit pick: Venezuelan

Venezuelan is our selection, heading the ratings for this staying test over an extended trip. He is only narrowly ahead of Talismans Time and Midnight Rumble, with barely three pounds covering the top three, while Vaguely Royal completes the leading dangers a little further back. Confidence in the selection is low given how tightly matched this leading group looks on our figures.
