Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: In The Trenches
In The Trenches heads the field on ratings, narrowly ahead of Arctic Flame and a couple of pounds clear of Let's Go La Fichad, and the 17-furlong trip on good ground at Cork looks tailor-made for a thorough stayer of his profile. Arctic Flame and Let's Go La Fichad will push him hard, and Metamorpheus represents a credible danger from just off the pace, so this is no formality over such a searching distance with a competitive twelve-runner field. The selection holds a slender edge on the figures, though the closeness of the contest warrants caution. **In The Trenches** is our selection.
