Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Premier Fantasy
Premier Fantasy holds a narrow rating deficit to A Dublin Job but is preferred here on the strength of a progressive profile that suggests more improvement to come over this stamina-testing twenty-two furlongs at Stratford. A Dublin Job represents the chief danger alongside Huckleberry Sting and Honneur De Sivola, who will all need to be respected, though the latter pair are rated some way behind the front two. The case for our selection rests on the belief that a horse moving in the right direction can overcome a small ratings gap, though this is far from a straightforward contest. Premier Fantasy is the pick.
