Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Go Rimbaud
Go Rimbaud arrives at Kempton on a progressive profile that makes him an appealing proposition over this mile on the all-weather, and while Elan d'Or holds a narrow rating advantage, the direction of travel here favours our selection as a horse still moving through the gears. Starlight Time and Suggy will need to be respected in a competitive enough Class 4 heat, with the former capable of running into a place at least. Go Rimbaud is the pick.
