Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Prince Of Calypso

Prince Of Calypso arrives at Beverley on the back of a progressive profile that suggests there is more to come, and a fitness edge over some of his rivals makes him an appealing proposition over this twelve-furlong trip on soft ground. Mayaada heads the field on ratings, narrowly ahead of both Prince Of Calypso and L'Eagle Aid, and cannot be dismissed, while L'Eagle Aid and Clansman also represent genuine dangers in what looks a competitive Class 5 contest. The selection is taken to make the most of his current condition and upward curve, and Prince Of Calypso is the call here.
