Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Managing Director

Managing Director sits narrowly behind the top two on ratings but is preferred here on the strength of a progressive profile that suggests there is more to come, making him an appealing each-way proposition in a fiercely competitive 21-runner sprint at York. Duran and Utmost Respect head the field on bare figures and must be respected, while Kinnalargy, a pound behind them, also enters calculations on good ground over six furlongs. The confidence is measured rather than emphatic given the size of the field and the cluster of closely-matched rivals, yet the upward curve in Managing Director's form is the telling factor. Managing Director is the selection.
