Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Miraculous
Miraculous is preferred here despite sitting a couple of pounds behind the top-rated Bergerac, with a progressive profile suggesting there is more to come from this runner over the Southwell six furlongs. Bergerac and the equally-rated Azure Zain are the chief dangers and will need to be accounted for, while Jenever also merits respect on a rating that keeps him competitive in this class. On the basis that Miraculous is still improving and has the profile of a horse capable of overturning a narrow ratings deficit, the verdict goes to Miraculous.
