Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Dumfries
Dumfries heads this Class 6 contest on a rating three points clear of Amarachi and four ahead of Harswell River, though the gap is narrow enough that any of the chief dangers could turn the tables on the day. Amarachi and Harswell River both carry strong claims, and Copper And Five at the same level as several rivals could complicate matters further on good-to-firm ground at Beverley. The case for Dumfries rests on that slender rating edge in a competitive, open-looking affair, and confidence is modest. Dumfries is our selection.
