Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Paranjape
Paranjape holds a narrow edge over the field on our ratings and gets the nod at Lingfield over this mile on the all-weather, where consistency will be rewarded on a standard surface that should suit a horse of his profile. Ahead Of Fashion, rated just two pounds below, represents the most pressing threat and cannot be dismissed lightly, while Musical Soldier and Laughterintherain will also need to be accounted for if the selection is to prevail. The confidence here is measured rather than absolute, but the ratings edge combined with the likely pace of the race makes Paranjape the logical call. The selection is Paranjape.
