Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party

Pundit pick: Loingseoir

Loingseoir heads this fourteen-runner Navan mile on good-to-firm ground narrowly ahead of the field on our ratings, and with that edge there is a reasonable case for a bold showing over this trip. Cosmic Funk is the most threatening rival on a rating of 75 and cannot be dismissed, while Comfort Line and Sherekiya share a rating of 72 and will need to improve to bridge that gap. Confidence is medium rather than high, so a watching brief on Cosmic Funk in particular is sensible, but the overall profile points to Loingseoir as the one to be on.
