Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Nadia's Boy
Nadia's Boy holds a clear advantage over this field on rated form, sitting narrowly ahead of the chasing pack led by William Tell, Scalpnagoon and West Away, who are clustered within two pounds of each other and represent the chief dangers on a testing 19-furlong trip at Wexford. The unrated Begger and Kelya introduce an element of the unknown, and with confidence modest, this is far from a straightforward call. On the figures available, though, **Nadia's Boy** is the selection.
