Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Zucayan

Zucayan arrives at Stratford on the back of a progressive profile and a more solid book of form than most in this field, and a fitness edge over the top-rated Getmyfriend gives additional reason to side with him over the extended two and a quarter miles on this good-to-firm ground. Getmyfriend holds a narrow ratings advantage of three pounds and cannot be dismissed lightly, while Juggernaut and Dream Jet both carry enough ability to make the frame if finding their best. That said, Zucayan's trajectory and readiness make him the most compelling proposition in this Class 5 contest, and he is the one to be on.
