Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Shallow River
Shallow River heads this small field narrowly ahead of Imperial Merlin on a three-pound pull, with a further two pounds separating Imperial Merlin from Imperial Data, and the selection's profile over an extreme trip on ground he has met before gives him every chance of confirming that advantage. Imperial Merlin and Imperial Data are the most obvious dangers, with Al Sayah also capable of outrunning his rating if he runs to his best, so the race looks likely to be settled among those four. The confidence here is modest given the compressed ratings at the head of the market and the unpredictable nature of a twenty-six-furlong test around Cartmel. On balance, Shallow River is the call.
