Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Naga
Naga heads a competitive 17-runner Class 2 field at York narrowly ahead of Sharpen and Janey Mackers, and on ten furlongs of good-to-soft ground she looks the one they all have to beat. Sharpen and Janey Mackers, both a pound behind, represent the chief threats, with Plaid a further five points back and capable of outrunning her rating in a big-field event, yet the edge in quality clearly sits with the selection. Naga is the pick.
