In-running (Not So Serious (IRE))

“Tracked the front-runner early - travelled wide - blundered at the 1st - unhurried at the 5th - 3rd at halfway - made ground into the front after 2 out - driven and came under pressure in the run-in - drifted right 150 yards out and stayed on gamely near the finish”

Pundit pick: Not So Serious

Not So Serious is the selection, sitting on top of this field of 19 with a rating of 103 — nine pounds clear of his nearest rivals on our figures. That comes with a genuine caveat: his last five starts have brought three pulled-up efforts and two unplaced runs, which keeps confidence in the pick low despite the scale of his rating edge. Bearami Creek and Madame Masque, tied on 94, both arrive in sharper recent form and stand out as the chief dangers, with Tannery Park, close behind on 92, also a threat worth noting. Not So Serious remains the pick on the strength of the figures, with Bearami Creek and Madame Masque best placed to trouble him.
