Pundit pick: Advance Twentyfive

Advance Twentyfive holds a progressive profile that makes the four-pound deficit to the top-rated Lir Speciale less daunting than it might appear on paper, and on a good surface over a mile at York there is every reason to believe there is more to come from this improving performer. Lir Speciale heads the field on ratings and cannot be dismissed lightly, while Proud Nation and Alpha Capture are closely matched rivals who will each be pushing for a share of the honours in a competitive nineteen-runner field. With progression the deciding factor here, Advance Twentyfive is the selection.
