Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Bundle Of Interest
Bundle Of Interest merits serious consideration here despite sitting a few pounds below the top two in the ratings, as a progressive profile suggests there is more to come from this runner over eight furlongs on soft ground at Gowran Park. Bill Silvers heads the field on figures and cannot be dismissed, while Suir Monad and Navagio also pose genuine threats in what shapes as a competitive nineteen-runner affair. The case for our selection rests on the conviction that the ratings do not yet fully capture where this horse is heading, and a step forward in form would be enough to see off the principals. Bundle Of Interest is our pick.
