Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Clocker
Al's River tops our figures on 67 in this Leicester staying contest, with Captain Cairney (66) just a pound behind and Clocker (65) two pounds further back. We prefer Clocker, though, whose progressive profile and fitness edge over this longer trip persuade us to look past the bare ratings. Al's River, Captain Cairney and This Rib all loom as dangers, but with confidence in this verdict low, it looks a tightly matched race. Clocker is our selection.
