Pundit pick: Ziggy's Triton

Ziggy's Triton arrives at Newbury on a progressive profile that sets him apart from most of this twelve-runner field, and a fitness edge over some of his rivals on good-to-firm ground over five furlongs makes him an appealing proposition at this level. Kinswoman is narrowly ahead on ratings and cannot be dismissed lightly, while Glamorous Breeze and Hucklesbrook share the same figure and are next best on the ratings. On balance, the progressive profile and condition of Ziggy's Triton are expected to prove decisive, and he is the selection.
