Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Star Prospect

Star Prospect is our selection for this Cork 5f, rated 109 and clearly the best of this field of eight on the figures. Lars Soldier, Sirocco Sands and La Tache are the chief dangers, but none match the selection's scope on the form shown. High confidence backs Star Prospect to prove too good here.
