Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Eclipse Chaser
Eclipse Chaser heads this ten-runner staying contest at Kilbeggan on good ground, rated narrowly ahead of Los Blanco and a more meaningful six pounds clear of Kool One, and on ratings alone our selection holds the edge in what is a competitive field over the stamina-sapping twenty furlongs. Los Blanco will push hardest and cannot be dismissed lightly, while Kool One and Fou De Toi are also firmly in the mix and capable of turning the tables if Eclipse Chaser fails to reproduce peak form. Confidence is limited, but the ratings edge is real and Eclipse Chaser is the call.
