Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Walk On Walk On
Walk On Walk On catches the eye as a progressive type whose clock-backed form suggests the bare figures understate the case, making the three-point gap behind the top-rated Barleybrown less significant than it might appear on paper. Barleybrown holds the rating advantage and must be respected, while Here Comes Louie and The Floors Munky both carry realistic claims over this trip on the all-weather. That said, Walk On Walk On's upward trajectory gives cause for optimism that there is more to come, and this looks the right opportunity to find out. The selection is Walk On Walk On.
