Pundit pick: Noble Guest

Noble Guest and Thapa VC share top spot on our figures at 76 apiece in this nine-runner Class 6 contest, with Way To Dubai (72) and Methgal (68) next best. Noble Guest gets the nod as our selection, even with little between it and Thapa VC at the head of the field. Thapa VC, Way To Dubai and Methgal all pose the biggest threats and could easily figure in the finish. It's a medium-confidence verdict given how tight this line-up is, but Noble Guest is the pick.
