Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party

Pundit pick: Catherine Magennis

Catherine Magennis heads the ratings alongside Duke Of Leggagh on 79, but her overall profile across a competitive 18-runner field at Roscommon over twelve furlongs on good ground gives her the edge in a race where form consistency matters most; Summer Snow and Autocrat are worthy dangers at 77 and 76 respectively, while Duke Of Leggagh must be respected as the chief rival given he shares the top rating. The selection is Catherine Magennis.
