Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Machete Beach
Machete Beach and Glory And Honour head this six-runner Class 4 contest at Sedgefield on good ground, both rated narrowly ahead of the chasing pack, and Machete Beach gets the nod on the basis that the seventeen-furlong trip on good ground should suit him. Glory And Honour is the obvious threat at the same rating and must be respected, while Saint Polo and Jolie Coeur Allen, both rated thirteen pounds off the top, could outrun expectations if conditions play to their strengths. On balance, Machete Beach looks the one to be on.
