Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Si White
Si White arrives here on a progressive profile and with a fitness edge that makes him an interesting proposition despite sitting a few pounds below the top-rated Balgowan in these assessments. Balgowan, Sir Griflet and Femme Fatale all post higher figures and cannot be dismissed lightly over this extended sixteen-furlong trip on the Lingfield all-weather. The confidence in the selection is modest, but the upward trajectory and condition Si White brings to the race could bridge that gap on the day. **Si White** is our selection.
