Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Feel The Need
Feel The Need is one of several rivals rated on the same mark, but the case for siding with him rests on a progressive profile and a fitness advantage that could prove telling over this seven-furlong trip on the Tapeta at Newcastle. Yaajooz sits a pound clear at the top of the ratings and must be respected as the principal danger, with Criminal Shore and Sunriseontheboyne both sharing the same rating as our selection and capable of making this competitive. The confidence level is modest in a wide-open field, but the upward trajectory and readiness to run make Feel The Need the preferred pick. Feel The Need is the selection.
