Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Lucky Hero
Lucky Hero is our selection, preferred to the top of our ratings on a progressive profile built around a placed run last time out and a swift return to action just 11 days later. Diderot heads our figures despite modest recent form and looks the chief danger, while Optician and Flying Fletcher both bring solid recent efforts of their own. Confidence is low in a wide-open field, but Lucky Hero's rounded profile gets the vote.
