Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Atreides
Atreides holds a fitness edge over the top-rated Jefe Triunfo and arrives here on a progressive profile that suggests there is more to come, making him an attractive proposition at Fontwell over this extended trip despite sitting a couple of pounds behind on ratings. Jefe Triunfo is the obvious chief danger given his rating advantage, while Royal Rhythm and County Champs also warrant respect in a competitive little field. The confidence here is not especially high, and punters should be aware this is a close call, but the progressive profile and sharper current condition tip the balance. Atreides is the selection.
