Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Midnight Jewel
Midnight Jewel heads a ten-runner field at Worcester on good ground over two and a half miles, and our selection sits narrowly ahead of Lucky In Taipan at the top of the ratings, with Iamcelestialgift and Starshine Legend the other credible dangers in what otherwise looks a straightforward Class 5 contest. The selection's superiority at this trip on ground that should suit gives genuine cause for confidence, and while Lucky In Taipan and Iamcelestialgift will press hard, they are each giving weight away in terms of quality. Midnight Jewel is the selection.
