Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Sierra Sands
Sierra Sands arrives here on a progressive profile that makes the narrow rating gap to Spirit Of Saxony and Tryst less daunting than it appears on paper, and a return to seven furlongs on good-to-firm ground at Newmarket, conditions already proven, should suit a horse still finding improvement. Spirit Of Saxony heads the field on ratings and must be respected, while Tryst and Hardy's Hero both sit close enough to make this competitive. With confidence modest, **Sierra Sands** is taken to edge it on the strength of that upward trajectory.
