Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Zafaan
Zafaan heads the ratings alongside Kernie d'Airy, the pair narrowly ahead of Crown Of India and Playful Fox, and on a two-mile trip over good ground at Worcester this looks a wide-open affair. Zafaan's experience and consistency give him a slight edge in a race where the principals are closely matched, though Kernie d'Airy represents the most obvious threat and Crown Of India and Playful Fox could make their presence felt if conditions suit. The confidence is tempered by the competitive nature of the top of the field, but on balance Zafaan merits the call. The selection is Zafaan.
