Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Lakefield Flyer
Lakefield Flyer holds a narrow but clear edge over the two joint-rated rivals Hillsin and Son Of Hypnos, sitting six pounds ahead of that pair and nine clear of Uncle Remus, which represents a meaningful advantage at this level over an extended trip on good ground at Newton Abbot. Hillsin and Son Of Hypnos are the most likely dangers given their shared rating, and Uncle Remus cannot be entirely dismissed if the pace suits, but Lakefield Flyer's superior rating in a Class 5 contest of this nature makes the case for a confident selection. The vote goes to Lakefield Flyer.
