Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Kinbara Firstdraft
Kinbara Firstdraft stands narrowly ahead of Blazing Court and Illogical Logic on our ratings but the gap to the chasing pack is substantial enough to inspire genuine confidence over this testing twenty-one-furlong trip on good-to-soft ground at Cartmel. Blazing Court and Illogical Logic share the same rating and will need to find significant improvement to trouble the selection, while Judicial Review, though holding claims, sits a further two pounds adrift and looks the third danger at best. This looks a straightforward assignment for Kinbara Firstdraft, who should prove too strong for his rivals, and he is our selection.
