Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Roger Pol
Roger Pol holds a narrow edge over Secret Trix and Ernest Gray on these figures, and his rating places him fractionally ahead of a competitive trio who will make this a genuine test over the extended trip at Bangor-on-Dee. Secret Trix, just a couple of pounds adrift, represents the most pressing threat, with Ernest Gray also close enough on the figures to make his presence felt if conditions suit, and Kiwi de Cotte cannot be dismissed lightly either. The confidence here is modest given how closely matched the principals are, but the marginal advantage belongs to Roger Pol.
