Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Madjid
Madjid heads this small Kempton all-weather field narrowly ahead of Joseph on our figures, and over eleven furlongs on a standard-to-slow surface there is enough in hand to make a case for him at this Class 5 level, provided he translates his rating into a performance on the night. Joseph represents the most obvious threat and should not be underestimated, while Thatcham and Pershalla are capable of making life difficult if either runs to the top of their form. With the caveat that the margin over his rivals is slim, Madjid is the selection.
