Pundit pick: Soul IconDiffers from our pick

Soul Icon holds a clear advantage over this field on ratings, sitting 13 lb ahead of Zillow and a full 20 lb clear of the next group, and over a stamina-sapping 22 furlongs on good ground at Newton Abbot that profile looks well suited to a thorough stayer of his calibre. Zillow is the most obvious threat and will need to run to a career-best to bridge that gap, while American Sniper and Handlethekettle cannot be entirely dismissed if Soul Icon fails to fire. On balance, however, the ratings edge is substantial enough to inspire genuine confidence, and Soul Icon is the selection.
