Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Victor Cee
Victor Cee arrives here on a progressive profile that makes him a compelling proposition despite sitting two pounds behind top-rated Twirler, who represents the chief danger alongside Lady Gormire and Elvetham. The good-to-firm six furlongs at Epsom should suit a horse on an upward curve, and there is every reason to believe the best of Victor Cee is still to come. **Victor Cee** is our selection.
