Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Brussels
Brussels holds a clear edge at the head of the ratings, sitting six pounds above Kendall Roy and seven clear of Erosandpsyche, and the good ground over five furlongs at Cork looks a straightforward fit for a horse of this profile. Kendall Roy and Erosandpsyche are the most credible dangers and will press hard throughout, while Gazelle d'Or cannot be entirely dismissed if conditions play to her strengths. Brussels is the one to be on.
