Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Elan d'Or

Elan d'Or holds a clear advantage on ratings over both rivals here, sitting narrowly ahead of Edwin Hubble and well clear of Interstate on these figures, and the good-to-firm ten-furlong conditions at Sandown look well-suited to his profile. Edwin Hubble represents the principal danger and will need to be watched, though the gap between them gives Elan d'Or only a slender cushion. **Elan d'Or** is our selection.
