Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Point Cartwright
Point Cartwright and Connecteo share the top spot on our figures in this competitive 12-furlong contest at Cork, but we make Point Cartwright our selection on the balance of the wider case. Guildhall Graduate and Millhone also feature among the leading dangers, with Guildhall Graduate's figure only two shy of the pair at the top. It's a low-confidence verdict in a full 13-runner field, so respect is due to all three dangers.
