Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Roman Dragon
Roman Dragon has been progressive enough to make him an interesting alternative to the top-rated Postmodern, who rates four pounds clear on our figures but may not have the same upward trajectory coming into this six-furlong Class 3 at Chester on good-to-soft ground. Coachello and Reciprocated are both rated 93 and cannot be dismissed at these weights, making this a genuinely competitive heat with several plausible outcomes. The selection is preferred on the basis that a horse continuing to improve can outperform a static rating, though the low confidence here reflects how tight the contest is at the top. Roman Dragon is the pick.
