Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Galyx
Galyx lines up level with Sovereign View on our ratings, but it is the overall body of form that makes the case compelling, with Galyx looking well-suited to this ten-furlong trip at Sandown and having the profile of a horse ready to land a race of this class. Sovereign View is the obvious danger, rated level and sure to push hard throughout, while Magnatura and Carnival Day represent further threats from the chasing pack and cannot be dismissed lightly. The selection is Galyx.
