Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Outback Heat
With four runners sharing the top rating in a wide-open twenty-runner field over a mile on good-to-soft ground at York, this is far from straightforward, yet Outback Heat is narrowly ahead of or level with every rival and heads the selection on the balance of form. Lion of Alba, Exclusive Code and St Anton all rate equally dangerous, sharing the same figure and capable of making this a tight finish, so the medium confidence reflects how compressed the ratings are at the head of affairs. Command The Stars and Blue Courvoisier are also firmly in contention just a pound off the pace, meaning Outback Heat must produce a polished performance to land the spoils. On the merits, Outback Heat is the call.
