“Handy in the front rank - driven up to challenge with 2f left and knocked about there - responded well approaching the final furlong - got up close home in the final 110yds under maximum effort”

Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Educator

Educator rates a shade below the top-rated Seeking Charles but carries a progressive profile into this Newmarket mile-and-a-half contest, and a fitness edge over some rivals could prove decisive on good-to-firm ground. Seeking Charles and the equally-rated Didaar are the chief dangers, with King's Castle also worth respecting, though Educator's upward curve makes the case for taking a chance on the selection stepping forward again. The race is competitive and the confidence is modest, but the profile points the right way. **Educator** is our selection.
