Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: El Burhan
El Burhan is narrowly behind the top-rated Teumessias Fox on ratings but is preferred here on the strength of a fitness edge that could prove decisive over this twelve-furlong trip on good-to-soft ground at Hamilton, and there is enough quality in his profile to suggest he can confirm himself ahead of a potentially stale rival. Teumessias Fox cannot be dismissed lightly and must be treated as the primary threat, while Evanesco and Yabher are closely matched on ratings and will make this competitive throughout the field of fifteen. The confidence here is modest and the race is open, but El Burhan is the selection.
