Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Hardy Warrior
Hardy Warrior holds a rating six pounds below East Hampton but is preferred here on the strength of a progressive profile that suggests further improvement is well within reach over this mile on good ground at Killarney. East Hampton, Jagged Edge and Carolina Jetstream are the chief dangers, with the top-rated runner in particular possessing the class to make this difficult, so the confidence here is modest. Hardy Warrior is the pick.
