Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: County Carlow
County Carlow arrives at Doncaster on a progressive profile that makes the five-pound gap to the top-rated Zubaru less daunting than it first appears, with the clock consistently backing up what the form figures suggest about this performer on good-to-firm ground. Zubaru heads the ratings and cannot be ignored, while Golden Long and Brummell also pose genuine threats in what looks a competitive Class 4 contest. The selection is seventh of ten on our ratings but travelling the right way, and that progressive profile gives cause for optimism. County Carlow is the pick.
