Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Tycoon
Tycoon heads this York contest on a narrow four-pound edge over Chillingham, with Likealot and Wahdan both seven pounds back on our figures. Tycoon has been frustratingly consistent rather than a winner in his recent starts, but the same is true of most of this field, and he still rates the one to beat. Chillingham's strong speed figure makes him the most dangerous rival, while Likealot arrives from a yard in good form and Wahdan looks open to more improvement. Our selection is Tycoon, in what looks a competitive renewal from top to bottom.
