Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Imperial Bede
Imperial Bede holds a narrow but clear edge over the field on ratings, sitting four pounds ahead of Midnight Jewel and six clear of Martin's Denuo, and at Fontwell's stamina-sapping twenty furlongs that edge in class and quality should prove telling. Midnight Jewel represents the most obvious danger and will need to be watched, while Martin's Denuo cannot be entirely dismissed if the principals meet trouble in running on this tight track. Imperial Bede is our selection.
