Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Special Ghaiyyath
Special Ghaiyyath merits serious consideration here despite sitting a few pounds below the top-rated City Of God, because a progressive profile suggests there is more to come and the step up to eight furlongs on good-to-soft ground at Salisbury looks well-suited to his development. City Of God holds the ratings advantage and cannot be dismissed, while A La Noche and Prince Rasam are close enough on the figures to make this competitive throughout the field. That said, a horse still finding improvement is often preferred in this grade over one whose ceiling may already be established, and Special Ghaiyyath is taken to confirm that upward trajectory here.
