Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Bound For Glory

Bound For Glory comes into this Class 5 contest at Worcester over an extended twenty-three furlongs on good ground with what looks a meaningful fitness edge and a progressive profile that gives grounds for optimism, narrowly behind the top-rated Jullou De Grissay on paper but preferred on the basis of condition and an upward trajectory. Jullou De Grissay remains the most obvious threat and cannot be dismissed lightly at the head of the ratings, while Iamcelestialgift matches Bound For Glory's rating and Stiletto is only a few pounds adrift, keeping this a genuinely competitive heat with several plausible outcomes. Confidence is tempered accordingly, and this is not a race to be dogmatic about, but the combination of fitness and improving form tips the scales. The selection is Bound For Glory.
