Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Pahlavi
Pahlavi heads the assessments alongside Ripsnorter, the pair rated level at the top of the field, though the case for our selection rests on the expectation that he can edge out that rival over this stamina-testing eighteen furlongs on good ground at Downpatrick. Youknowthecode and Le Diablo, rated four and seven pounds adrift respectively, represent the next most credible threats and cannot be dismissed lightly in a field of twelve. Confidence is medium rather than absolute, but Pahlavi's profile suits the conditions and he is taken to come out on top. The selection is Pahlavi.
