Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Belle Le Grand
Belle Le Grand holds a clear edge in the ratings over Four Decades, with the remainder of the field some way further back, and over this extended two-mile trip at Worcester there is a reasonable case that class will tell in the end. Four Decades is the most obvious threat and should not be taken lightly, while Culligran and Holy Legend could also make their presence felt if Belle Le Grand fails to fire. Confidence is not high, but on balance Belle Le Grand represents the strongest option in the field and is our selection.
