Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Faded Fantasy
Faded Fantasy arrives here on a progressive profile that gives reason to prefer her over the top-rated Bobby Socks, who holds a narrow three-pound advantage on paper but may lack the same upward trajectory heading into this stamina-testing twenty-furlong trip at Bangor-on-Dee. Present Fair matches Faded Fantasy's rating and must be respected, while Lord Cauvelliere is the other principal danger in what is a competitive twelve-runner Class 5 field, though a fitness edge is expected to count in Faded Fantasy's favour on the day. The selection is Faded Fantasy.
