Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Barry Fife

Barry Fife arrives at Bangor-on-Dee narrowly behind the top-rated Soldier In Mayo on paper, but a fitness edge, a more solid book of form and a progressive profile all point towards him reversing that marginal deficit over this stamina-testing twenty furlongs on good ground. Soldier In Mayo and Rule Me In are the most obvious dangers, with Moonlightinthepark also worth keeping onside at the foot of the main dangers list, yet neither can match the confidence that Barry Fife's profile inspires heading into this Class 5 contest. Barry Fife is our selection.
