Pundit corner

Pundit pick: My Great Mate

My Great Mate heads this five-runner staying test at Kilbeggan on good ground holding a three-pound edge over Moonovercloon, who represents the most pressing threat given his proximity in the ratings and should not be underestimated over this extended trip of three miles, while Chanceawetmorning and Affinity Rock complete a competitive-looking quartet among the rated runners. The selection's superiority is narrow rather than commanding, and with confidence modest, backers should be aware this is a race that could go any number of ways. My Great Mate is the selection.
