Pundit pick: Grand Pier

Grand Pier heads this nine-runner Class 6 contest at Ffos Las on good ground narrowly ahead of Fast Steps and Revich on a private rating of 76, and over ten furlongs that advantage looks meaningful enough to see him home. Fast Steps and Revich, both rated 71, represent the chief dangers alongside The Anthony Gover on 70, so the principals are closely matched behind our selection, and any of those three could make life interesting if Grand Pier fails to fire. That said, the ratings edge combined with high confidence in his current form makes this a straightforward call. Grand Pier is the selection.
