Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: The Bureau Club
The Bureau Club arrives here on a progressive profile that the clock has consistently backed up, giving connections reason for confidence on this good-to-firm eight-furlong test at Chepstow. Rated level with Redhot Whisper at the head of this Class 6 field, it is the fitness edge and upward trajectory that tip the balance in favour of our selection over a rival who, while equally regarded on paper, shows less evidence of improvement. Devious Devan and Ajrad are the dangers lurking just below, capable of making this competitive if either reproduces their best. **The Bureau Club** is the selection.
