Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Great Bedwyn
Great Bedwyn heads this fourteen-runner Class 4 contest at Epsom on good-to-soft ground over a mile and a half, sitting narrowly ahead of Son Of Man and Divine Knight on three pounds, with Gordon Grey a further pound back and representing the chief dangers to our pick. The selection will need to handle the good-to-soft ground well over this staying trip, and the proximity of that trio on ratings means this is no foregone conclusion, so backers should be aware the confidence here is modest. Son Of Man and Divine Knight are capable of making this a genuine contest if they reproduce their best form, while Gordon Grey cannot be dismissed either. Great Bedwyn is our selection.
