Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Spanish Darling
Spanish Darling rates 2 lb behind the top-rated Ebarayna on these figures, yet a fitness edge tilts the balance in her favour and she is preferred here as our selection. Ebarayna remains the obvious threat and must be respected, while Mouth Watering and Roi Des Diamants could also make their presence felt over this staying trip on good ground at Worcester. Confidence is tempered given the closeness of the form, but Spanish Darling is fancied to confirm herself the better horse on the day.
