Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Merely A Detail
Merely A Detail holds a fitness edge over She Is For Me Boys that makes a compelling case for reversing the narrow ratings deficit between the pair. Two To Tango and Person of Interest are both respected dangers who will make this competitive across the 18 furlongs at Fontwell, though neither looks capable of dominating if Merely A Detail runs to her rating. The selection is Merely A Detail.
