Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Temptationinmilan
Temptationinmilan rates just a pound behind the top-rated Leave In Secret on these figures, yet the progressive profile tips the balance in his favour, suggesting there is more to come at this trip on good ground at Wexford. Leave In Secret heads the dangers alongside Following Orders and Beggars Rock, any of whom could exploit a flat day from our selection. On balance, though, the upward curve makes Temptationinmilan the call. **Selection: Temptationinmilan.**
