Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Crimson Road
Crimson Road carries a progressive profile into this Brighton Class 6 contest over ten furlongs on good-to-firm ground, and a fitness edge over some of the more fancied rivals gives him cause to outrun his rating here despite sitting a few pounds below the top of the standings. Liberate heads the ratings and cannot be dismissed lightly, while Bownder and Bobacious are closely matched and will also pose a threat in what looks a competitive little heat. The case rests on Crimson Road's upward trajectory suggesting there is more to come, and the selection is Crimson Road.
