Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: William Yeats
William Yeats heads this ten-runner Class 5 staying contest at Sedgefield on good ground with a clear edge over his rivals on form, sitting eight pounds clear of the next-best Socks Off and comfortably ahead of American Empire and Aimeric, who represent the chief dangers if our selection fails to reproduce his best over the extended trip. Those three will push him hard, particularly Socks Off who is the most obvious threat at the weights, but William Yeats has the ratings profile to dictate terms over this stamina-testing twenty furlongs and, though confidence is tempered slightly by the quality of opposition he faces, his superiority on form makes him the one to be on. William Yeats is our selection.
