Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Pride Of Place
Pride Of Place heads this field of fourteen on good ground at Kilbeggan with a clear edge over the nearest dangers, sitting nine points clear of Starzov and twelve ahead of Mighty Berkshire, and that superiority over a stamina-testing twenty-five furlongs makes a compelling case for a horse that ought to be travelling best of all when it matters most. Starzov and Mighty Berkshire will push hardest in the closing stages, with Priory Park not without each-way claims either, but none of them can match the ceiling Pride Of Place brings to this contest on what we know of their respective form. The selection is Pride Of Place.
