Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Keep An Eye On It
Keep An Eye On It is narrowly behind Barley on ratings but is preferred on the strength of a progressive profile and a likely fitness edge that makes the bare one-point gap look misleading. Barley, Ephron and Hostility are the principal dangers in an open Class 5 over eight furlongs at Carlisle, though none has the combination of recent form and upward trajectory that makes our selection so compelling here. Keep An Eye On It is the pick.
