Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party

Pundit pick: Eagle Day

Eagle Day is narrowly ahead of most of this field on our ratings and is preferred over the top-rated Wildfell on the strength of a progressive profile and a fitness edge that makes him the more appealing proposition over this eight-furlong trip at Bath on good ground. Wildfell holds the highest rating in the race and cannot be dismissed lightly, while Thestral and Malakai Kite also represent dangers in a competitive Class 6 heat of thirteen runners. Eagle Day is our selection.
