Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Oneforgonzo
Oneforgonzo rates a pound behind the top-rated King Ferdinand on these figures, but a progressive profile makes a compelling case for preferring him at this marathon trip of twenty-four furlongs around Killarney on good ground, with the expectation that there is more improvement to come. King Ferdinand represents the chief danger as the highest-rated runner in the field, while Smallcraftwarning and Western Model also hold realistic chances on their respective ratings and must not be ignored in a competitive thirteen-runner heat. The selection is Oneforgonzo.
