Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Mr Moonshine
Mr Moonshine holds a clear edge on our figures over the chasing pack, rated narrowly ahead of Return With Gold, Wardlaw and Grey Fable, who all come in on the same mark. Over this stiff twelve furlongs at Beverley on good-to-firm ground, that superiority should be enough to see him home, provided he handles the conditions. Return With Gold and Wardlaw represent the most credible threats, with Grey Fable also capable of making the frame. Mr Moonshine is our selection.
