Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Kerdos
Kerdos heads this twelve-runner sprint at Dundalk narrowly ahead of Sir Les Patterson and Black Forza, who share the same rating and represent the most pressing dangers, with Valiant Force a pound further back and also capable of making this competitive. The low confidence here reflects how tightly grouped the principals are, and any of the top four could reasonably make their case over this six-furlong standard surface. Kerdos is the selection.
