Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Austrian Theory
Austrian Theory heads this seven-runner Catterick mile and a half contest on a sound surface, rated narrowly ahead of Spanish Hustle and carrying a clear edge over the remainder of the field, which gives plenty of reason for confidence at Class 5 level. Spanish Hustle and Shahbaz represent the most credible dangers and will need to be at their best to close the gap, while Mariner cannot be entirely dismissed either. The selection looks to have the class to assert over this trip on good ground, and the rating advantage, though modest at the top, is more pronounced against the bulk of the field. Austrian Theory is the selection.
