Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Something Coming
Something Coming arrives here in fine form, a progressive profile backed by the clock suggesting her figures are on the rise, and that edge in fitness over the top-rated Bundok is enough to tip the scales in her favour despite sitting a pound behind on ratings. Bundok heads the field narrowly and cannot be dismissed lightly, while Viviana and Unionville, both rated 68, add further depth to the dangers and will need to be passed in the closing stages of this seven-furlong Kempton contest. The confidence is measured rather than absolute, yet the trajectory of Something Coming's recent work makes a compelling case that she is the one catching this race at the right moment. Something Coming is the selection.
