Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Yanifer
Yanifer heads this twelve-runner Haydock mile on heavy ground, rated narrowly ahead of Jungle Ruler, and that slender edge may prove enough if the selection handles the testing conditions well. Jungle Ruler represents the most pressing threat at a pound behind, with Caim and Metal Merchant also capable of making their presence felt should Yanifer disappoint. The heavy ground introduces genuine uncertainty across the field, and this is not a race to attack with great confidence. That said, Yanifer's ratings superiority gives a clear starting point, and the selection is Yanifer.
