Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Great Blasket

Great Blasket holds a progressive profile that makes him an appealing proposition over this mile at Lingfield despite sitting a pound behind the top-rated Renesmee, and there is reason to believe his trajectory gives him the edge over rivals rated level with him in Thapa VC and Ernie's Valentine. Renesmee remains the primary threat as the narrowly higher-rated runner, while Thapa VC and Ernie's Valentine cannot be dismissed in what shapes as a competitive renewal at this level. The case for our selection rests on the expectation that his upward curve continues, though the closeness of the field means this is far from straightforward. Great Blasket is the pick.
