Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Last Verse
Last Verse is our selection in this Class 4 contest over 14 furlongs, rated the best of these four runners on our own figures. He holds a handful of pounds in hand of Boilermaker, with Outflank and Kakirra further back again on our ratings. Boilermaker is the chief danger on these figures, with Outflank and Kakirra also worth considering but rated further behind. We have high confidence in Last Verse as our selection.
