Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Uncle Remus
Uncle Remus holds a clear edge over the field on ratings, sitting seven pounds ahead of Kotari and eleven clear of Khalk'eau Spigao, which gives him a meaningful advantage going into this Class 5 contest over nineteen furlongs at Fontwell. Kotari and Khalk'eau Spigao are the most obvious dangers, with Delgany Second Now also worth noting if conditions suit, while the unrated North Account and Wise Counsellor add an element of the unknown. That said, Uncle Remus's rating superiority should tell over this staying trip, and he is taken to justify confidence here.
