Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Thank You Blue
Thank You Blue heads this nine-runner Sedgefield contest on a rating narrowly ahead of Wudya and a more meaningful margin clear of Delpotro and Fiskardo, and the form book supports the case for a bold showing over this stamina-testing twenty-furlong trip. Wudya and Delpotro represent the most credible threats and will need to be watched closely as the race develops on this good ground, while Fiskardo cannot be entirely dismissed at the bottom of the danger list. Confidence is tempered only by the competitive nature of the division, but the profile of Thank You Blue makes him the most persuasive selection in the field. The verdict is for Thank You Blue.
