Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Printing Money
Printing Money heads this Class 6 contest at Beverley on soft ground holding a clear edge over the chasing pack, rated six pounds clear of the trio of Inns And Out, Amantha and Court Legend who all sit on 66 and represent the chief dangers in an otherwise modest field over the mile trip. Those three rivals cannot be dismissed lightly given they share the same rating and one of them could outrun expectations on the day, but Printing Money's advantage at the top of the assessments gives a meaningful edge in a field where the rest trail well behind. The selection is Printing Money.
