Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Advance Twentyfive
Advance Twentyfive is preferred here on the strength of a progressive profile that suggests there is more to come, and on good ground over eight furlongs at Ripon the conditions look tailored to bring out the best in this horse. The three rivals rated narrowly ahead — Jungle Ruler, Murashah and Best Rate — all share a figure a pound or two above our selection, so the gap is modest and well within the margin a horse on the upgrade can bridge. Any one of that trio must be respected, yet a progressive profile is precisely the profile that tends to deliver on a track where stamina and a clear run count for more than headline ratings. Advance Twentyfive is the selection.
