Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Apothic Red
Apothic Red heads this 14-runner Sligo six-furlong contest on good ground with a clear edge over the field, rated seven points clear of nearest rival Jampa Ling and double figures ahead of the remainder. That margin gives genuine cause for confidence, and if reproducing his best form he should prove too strong for this company. Jampa Ling, Quinn's Charm and Luminessa will be the primary threats, though each faces a sizeable step up in class to trouble him. **Apothic Red** is the selection.
