Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party

Pundit pick: Royal Saxo

Royal Saxo rates 6 lb behind the top-rated Sea Eagle on these figures, so the case for our selection rests squarely on a progressive profile that suggests the bare rating undersells current ability at this stage of the season. Sea Eagle, Neptunes Staircase and Zoffman all hold clear ratings advantages and must be respected in a competitive 19-runner field over twelve furlongs on good ground at Roscommon, and it would be no surprise to see the trio dominate the market. That said, a horse on the upgrade can outrun its rating, and if Royal Saxo continues to improve as expected, the gap to the principals may already be smaller than the numbers suggest. Royal Saxo is our selection.
