Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Forlio
Forlio holds a progressive profile that makes him more appealing than his rating of 72 strictly suggests, and there is reason to believe he has more to offer over this ten-furlong trip on good ground at Roscommon. Loingseoir heads the field on ratings and cannot be dismissed lightly, while Kashel Spring and Bucaneer's Spirit also pose genuine threats as the three runners rated above our selection. The case for Forlio rests on the conviction that he is still improving and that his raw number does not yet tell the full story of his ability. The selection is Forlio.
