Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Expound
Expound heads this seven-runner affair at Tramore narrowly ahead of Merlin The Wizard on a two-point advantage, and over twelve furlongs on good ground there is a reasonable case that his superior rating will tell in the straight. Merlin The Wizard and Marmeladova represent the principal dangers, with Daboya also worth keeping onside, but none of them quite match Expound for what the form figures suggest. The confidence is medium rather than high, so a bold each-way position is warranted rather than an outright plunge. Expound is our selection.
