Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Popmaster

Popmaster holds a rating a pound below the top-rated Two Tempting, but his progressive profile makes a compelling case that he is heading in the right direction and may have more to offer than that narrow gap implies, particularly over this testing eight-furlong trip on the all-weather at Kempton. Two Tempting is the obvious danger and must be respected, while Supido and Cavolo Nero both rate as credible threats on our figures. Confidence is not sky-high given the competitive nature of this Class 2 contest and a field of fourteen, but the upward trajectory of his recent form tilts the balance in his favour. Popmaster is our selection.
