Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Homme Public
Homme Public heads this six-runner Class 2 staying chase at Bangor-on-Dee on good ground with a rating narrowly ahead of Sure Touch, and over two miles and four furlongs his stamina and class look well suited to the test. Sure Touch is the chief danger and cannot be dismissed lightly, while Presentandcounting and Tamarind Bay add depth to the opposition, though both sit some way below the top two on ratings. The selection may need to be at his best to repel Sure Touch, but his superior rating and the conditions in his favour give him the edge. Homme Public is our selection.
