Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party

Pundit pick: Moyassr

Moyassr holds a narrower edge over Genuine Jim and the rest of the lower half of this large Navan field, but the selection's progressive profile is the compelling reason to side with him ahead of Concert Party and Usuario Amigo, who are rated above him yet show less evidence of an upward trajectory. Concert Party heads the ratings and must be respected, while Usuario Amigo and Genuine Jim will both be pressing for places over this eight-furlong trip on good ground in a competitive twenty-runner heat. Confidence is modest given the rating gap that must be overcome, but a horse still finding improvement offers the best case for punching above his current level, and the selection is Moyassr.
