Pundit corner

Pundit pick: Wild Berries

Wild Berries heads this competitive 20-runner field at Navan narrowly ahead of Perfect Judgement on identical ratings, with Land Of The Giants and Whosethebestboy the pick of those immediately below, and the selection's place at the head of our ratings gives her the edge in what is an open contest on good ground. Perfect Judgement is the most obvious threat given she matches our selection on ratings and must be respected, while Land Of The Giants, rated three points inferior, could outrun her number if conditions suit. With a degree of caution warranted in a field this large, Wild Berries is nevertheless the call.
